John had a box which he had bought from the greengrocer. He had asked the gardener for four old wheels and he pulled his sister Anna in it. “It’s a fine cart, John,” said Dad.
After six weeks, his Dad told John, “Your wheel needs a new nail knocked in.” John wouldn’t bother fetching a hammer and nails and do it himself. After Mum had asked him to get a bag of carrots that morning, John said, “There are three other wheels for the cart to run on.”
John got to the grocer’s and the man put the bag of carrots in the cart. It wasn’t very long before the wheel came off. The cart ran on its three wheels.
A little dog was about to cross the road. He walked straight on, but he didn’t look up and down as he usually did. Now the milkman was on the other side of the road with four milk churns. When the horse saw the wheel, he kicked up his heels. The man shouted, but the cart didn’t stop until it fell into a canal below.
The milkman fell into the water too, but he could swim, so he was soon out. The horse tried to swim out too, but a rope was fetched. At last, the horse and cart were pulled out.
“What happened?” shouted a policeman furiously, taking out his notebook. “My horse took fright because of the wheel and knocked me into the canal,” said the milkman, pointing at a nearby car angrily.
“That wheel came off a little boy’s cart,” said the baker. He pointed at John, who was crying because his wheel had come loose.
“I had to move because the dog was going to run into my car,” said the driver.
