Once upon a time, there lived a middle-aged man named Bruce in a small town in Alaska. One day, he got into his car, hitting his head while entering. Bruce then sat down on the duct-taped seat, adjusted the rear view mirror that was hanging onto the ceiling by one wire, and began driving to the office. After three minutes, his steering wheel fell off and Bruce almost crashed into a tree. About fifteen minutes into the drive, Bruce felt a small bump and a hissing sound. A few seconds later, the passenger side wheel in the front made a thumping sound. Bruce realized that his tire has been punctured.

“Oh no!” cried Bruce, “What will I do?”

Bruce pulled over to the side of the road and cried for three minutes. After crying, he realized that there was no way he was going to pay $300, so he watched a few Youtube videos on his iPhone 4 about how to fix a punctured tire. Thirty minutes later, Bruce took out the tire repair tools and tried to fix it. After an hour of trying, Bruce somehow made the hole larger and gave up. He decided to pay the steep price of $300. Suddenly, Bruce gets a call from his three-year-old son, Brian.

“Hi dad! My toy train just shattered into a million pieces,” Brian cried in despair.

“Oh no,” says Bruce.
“Well I just fixed it!”
“What! That was like three seconds.”
“Yeah, aren’t you proud of me!”
“Yes.”
Bruce was flabbergasted when he heard that his son had fixed a toy train in three seconds. Bruce was also very inspired to fix the car tire, so Bruce spent three more hours watching Youtube videos and learning all about the art of fixing tires. Then, Bruce tried to fix the tire and succeeded. He cried out in happiness, jumped up and down, and called Brian to tell him how good Bruce was at fixing tires. Then, the windshield wiper fell off. Thankfully, Bruce was very skilled and fixed it with some duct-tape. Finally, Bruce drove back home and lived happily ever after. He learned his lesson to never give up.
