Once upon a time, there was a twelve-year-old kid named James. James woke up one morning just like any other to get ready to go to school. James' first class started at 8:00 AM each day, so to get to school he needed to be on the bus by 7:30. But today James woke up late and missed the bus! He ran outside with his backpack only to see the bus already headed off down the street. 

Since his parents had already gone to work, James knew that he had to come up with another way of getting to school on time. He hopped on his bicycle and took off in the direction of the school. He knew the route well enough to get there but he wasn't sure if he could get to school fast enough. When he was halfway there, James started to think there was a chance he could make it. Suddenly, the bike's tire ran over a nail and popped! 

Now what could he do?! James was sure he wouldn't make it to class on time without his bike but he also wasn't one to give up. He abandoned the bike and started running down the street. He checked his watch and saw that he only had ten minutes left, and yet he was still far away! James stopped and panted and tried to catch his breath. He was sure he wouldn't make it to class on time now. 

Then a truck pulled up next to James. The man driving the truck rolled down his window and explained that he saw what had happened and had placed James' bike in the bed of the truck. He asked James if needed a ride somewhere and James said "Yes, I need a ride to school." The man obliged, and when they arrived the man set the bike outside so that James could retrieve it at the end of the school day. James thanked the man and ran inside the school building. After all that trouble, he had made it to class right on time after all.
