Text: "Yesterday morning, I walked into my bathroom and immediately felt my socks get wet. What a bummer! I was already late. “I don’t need this.” I thought. I looked down and saw a puddle of water on the floor. At first, I thought I had spilled some water the night before, but then I noticed it was still dripping from the side of the bathtub. “Oh no,” I said to myself. “The tub is leaking!”I grabbed a towel and tried to soak up the water, but it just kept coming. I didn’t know what to do, so I called my dad. “Dad, the bathtub is leaking!” I said. “There’s water everywhere. What should I do?”He told me not to worry. “I’ll call Karim,” he said. “He’ll fix it.”Karim is a plumber who lives nearby. We call him every time we need help. He answered right away. Dad explained the situation. “Hi, Karim, how are you? How’s the family?” Dad said. “Look man, our bathtub is leaking, and I can’t stop the water. Can you come to help me?”He asked  where the water was coming from. I looked closer and saw it was dripping from underneath the tub. “It’s coming from below,” I told him.“Okay,” he said. “I’ll bring my tools and be there in an hour.”When he arrived, he brought a big toolbox and got right to work. He checked under the tub and said, “There’s a loose pipe. I’ll tighten it and seal it so it won’t leak anymore.”We watched as he worked, using wrenches, tape, and some special glue. After a little while, he stood up and smiled. “All done!” he said. “The leak is fixed.”We were so relieved. “Thank you, Karim! I truly appreciate you coming so fast.” I said.“You’re welcome,” he replied. “Keep an eye out for leaks in the future. It’s good to catch them early.”After he left, I cleaned up the bathroom and put everything back in place. In the commotion, I forgot that I was already late. Now, I am super late. That should be my superhero name. Super Late." Thank you for listening. Please, don't forget to subscribe. Take care :)
