The Old Bike That Found a New Home

Mia's old bike had been sitting in her garage for two years.

The tires were flat, and the chain was covered in rust.

Most people would have thrown it away, but Mia decided to take it to a repair shop instead.

The shop owner, Mr.

Chen, fixed the brakes and replaced the chain for just thirty yuan.

He told Mia that many broken bikes could be saved with small repairs.

Surprised by this, Mia asked if she could help at the shop on weekends.

There, she learned how to check wheels and clean gears.

One Saturday, a student named Leo came in looking for a cheap bike.

Mia showed him the repaired bike, which now looked almost new.

Leo paid a small price and rode away with a big smile.

Mia felt proud because the bike was not wasted, and someone else could use it.

Since then, she has told her friends to repair old things before buying new ones.
