The Workshop Helpers

On Saturday morning, Hudson and Chloe stopped at the neighbourhood bike repair shop. Dylan, who worked there, was fixing a red bicycle with a loose chain. “Could we help?” Hudson asked. Dylan showed them how to clean the chain with a cloth and check that the tyres had enough air. Chloe noticed a small basket of old bike bells on the counter. Dylan explained that the shop was collecting spare parts to fix bikes for local children. Hudson and Chloe sorted the bells into two piles: working and broken. They tested each one with a gentle ring. After an hour, they had found six bells that still worked. “Those can go on the repaired bikes,” Dylan said. He thanked the children for taking care with the parts. As they left, Chloe heard a cheerful ring from the red bicycle. Its chain was moving smoothly again.
