Randy’s bike tire was flat. He couldn’t find the pump because the garage was in disorder. “It’s hopeless,” said Randy. “I’ll never make it to the soccer game on time.”
“That’s nonsense,” said his brother Jake. “You can use my bike.”
“Gee, thanks,” said Randy, hopping on the bike.
“See, I can be likable!” said Jake with a grin.
