A Day in My Life 30: Taking the Car to the Garage

It's Saturday morning. Mrs. Lee's old red car has a problem. She needs it for the doctor on Monday. Her knee hurts, so I'm going to help her. I drove a car last week, so I'm ready. I turn the key. Nothing happens! I try again. Yes, it starts! Wow, it's so loud! It sounds like an old cat! I drive slowly to the garage near the station. The mechanic opens the hood and listens. She says the battery is very old. Oh no. And one tyre is low, too. It's going to take about an hour. So I wait in the small waiting room. I drink a coffee and read my book. This book is better than my phone! After an hour, the mechanic calls me. Great news! The car is ready! The new battery was ninety dollars. Mrs. Lee gave me the money this morning. On the way home, the car is much quieter. And it starts faster than before! Mrs. Lee is so happy! She gives me homemade cookies! At home, I have a cookie and some tea. It's soft and sweet. Delicious! Mochi looks at me with big eyes. Sorry, Mochi. Cookies are for people!
