[Story] Once upon a time, there was a twinkle-eyed mechanic named Tom who loved to work on cars. He always kept a trusty wrench in his toolbox, ready to tackle any problem that came his way. One day, Tom was called to fix a vintage car with a trunk full of tools. As he worked, he noticed a small wrinkle in the cars leather seat and decided to tuck it away before it got any bigger. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from the cars exhaust pipe. He quickly grabbed his wrench and checked the engine, only to find a small bird had gotten trapped in the exhaust tube. Tom carefully freed the bird and watched it fly away, feeling a sense of true accomplishment.
