Kevin and his friend Lisa were driving to the beach when they suddenly heard a loud noise. Kevin stopped the car and realized they had a flat tire. Neither of them had changed a tire before. While searching for the car manual, an older man walked by and offered help. He showed Kevin how to use the tools and change the tire step by step. Within 20 minutes, the car was ready to go. Kevin thanked the man and said, “Next time, I’ll know exactly what to do.” They arrived at the beach a bit late but enjoyed the sunny day.
