The Wheelchair

l

Jack had loved cars since he was young.
Now that he was retired, he especially loved the
cars from his youth—vintage or antique cars, they
were now called.

The biggest and best antique car rally was
coming up, and the minute the tickets became

available, Jack purchased one. He could hardly
wait for the big day. His ticket was going to be
his Christmas present to himself. But just before

the car show, he slipped and fell, putting him in a
wheelchair.
Jack was not about to let that stop him. He

had a son who lived in the town where the rally
was being held. Jack was sure his son would be
willing to take him to the show. He called to find

out.
"David, if I can get down to your place,

could you get me to the car rally?" Jack asked.
"Sure, Dad," David replied. "I'd love to go
to it with you, but I have to work that day."
"That's okay," Jack replied. "If you can just

get me there, I can spend the day, and then you
can pick me up after work."
