Seriously?\u00a0 Halfway through\u00a0our trip, the car tyre went\u00a0BOOM?\u00a0 I walked out of the car and looked at the inflated tyre unhappily.<\/p>\n
It was our road trip to Cherating.\u00a0 We started, happy, in fact very happy at first, but the inflated tyre came along, and it was disappointing.\u00a0 Very disappointing.\u00a0 I don’t know about my family, but they, too, had a frown on their faces.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Dad had parked his car in the emergency lane, so we could call someone to fix the car tyre.<\/p>\n
Maybe it was just our luck, because before Dad could fish out his mobile phone from his pocket, another car parked along the emergency lane.\u00a0 The driver came out.\u00a0 He wore a windbreaker with a black shirt underneath, with a black leather jeans to top it off.<\/p>\n
He started to examine the tyre.\u00a0 He said, “You have a nail in it.\u00a0 I could change your tyre for you.\u00a0 That is, if you have a spare tyre.”\u00a0 Mom answered, “Of course we do!\u00a0 We will be extremely grateful if you can help us.”\u00a0 She added, “We also have a jack in our boot.” Mom gave him the supplies and the man bent to the task.<\/p>\n
In 15 minutes, he was done.<\/p>\n
“Oh, my!\u00a0 That was fast!” I gasped.<\/p>\n
The man smiled, “I’m used to it.\u00a0 Happy to help!”<\/p>\n
Mom offered to pay the man for his service. He said, “No, thank you.” And waved goodbye before disappearing into his vehicle.<\/p>\n
We got into the car and continued our journey to Cherating.<\/p>\n
