Then his captain heard about this.One day be brought Jimmy a watch too.and said.“My watch doesn’t work.Can you mend it for me, please?”
Jimmy said, “Yes, sir.I can.”After a few days,he brought the watch back to the captain.
“How much should I pay you?” the captain asked.
“One pound, sir.” Jimmy answered.Then he took a small box out of his pocket and gave it to the captain.
He said, “Here are three wheels from your watch.I didn’t find a place for them when I put everything back.”
