Tom was riding his bike to his friend’s house when the chain suddenly broke. He couldn’t move the bike. Luckily, his friend Sam was passing by. “Do you need help?” Sam asked. Together, they pushed the bike to a repair shop nearby. The man at the shop said it would be ready in one hour. While waiting, Tom and Sam bought ice cream. Later, Tom’s bike was fixed, and they rode together happily. Tom was glad that Sam was there to help.
