['Last week I got a flat tire on my way to work.', 'Ouch, did it make you late to work?', 'I was on time! Luckily, someone stopped and helped me change the tire.']
That's great to know there are still good people in this world.
I was on my way to work and got a flat tire. Someone stopped and helped me change it. I was able to make it to work on time.
