Story 17. Dad's Old Car
Joshua was a rich man who came from a very poor family.
The only thing that his father was able to give him when he died was his old car.
Joshua kept the old car in the garage, but he never looked at it.
He kept it under a cover.
He was far more interested in his own new cars. cars.
The first car was fast and beautiful.
He never drove it in the rain.
The second car was a huge SUV.
He bragged to his friends that he didn't care that it used so much fuel.
He was so rich that he could afford it.
He also had an expensive motorcycle.
One day, his wife suddenly became sick.
She was so sick that he needed to get her from his mansion in the woods to the hospital as soon as possible.
He called the ambulance, but there was only one ambulance where they lived.
It was an hour away.
He could not wait that long.
I'll take my fastest car, he thought, but then he realized he could not because it was snowing hard.
I'll use my SUV, he decided.
It can drive through anything.
However, there was hardly any gas in it, and the gas station was closed.
He looked over at the motorcycle and knew that it was no use in the snowstorm.
Despite all his money and nice cars, Joshua could not help his wife.
Suddenly, he remembered his father's old car.
He got in and turned the key.
It cranked and cranked.
Finally, after years of sitting in the garage, the old car sputtered to life.
They made it to the hospital, and his wife was saved.
The old rusty car served him better than all the expensive cars he had.
The next day, Joshua sold his expensive cars.
He fixed up his father's old car so that it looked like new.
He then bought the hospital another ambulance.
Now, Joshua proudly drives his dad's old car every day.
