Feeling extremely annyed, I culdn't help but let ut a string f chice wrds, punctuated by a swift kick t the tire.

Withut hesitatin, the teenager extended his hand, ffering me his cell phne. "Here, yu can use mine t call yur wife," he said, his yuthful vice brimming with sincerity.

As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude t the teenager, but a new wrry crept int my mind. "It's a seven-mile trip fr my wife," I said, "even if she culd brrw a car, she hasn't driven fr lng and she's pregnant." The teenager asked, "Did yu just say yu live in the Medway street? My schl is nearby s I'm quite familiar with the rute. Just tell yur wife I'm cming t get the key." "But that's seven miles! It'll take yu at least an hur rund trip."
