again

but

couldn't

getthe

and

looked

inside

at

theface

of

a

young

man

who

looked

worried.

Arthur

stopped

and

asked,

"It

lookslike

you've

got

aproblem.

""I'm

afraid

so.

I'm

in

a

big

hurry

and

I

can't

start

my

car.”"Is

there

something

I

can

do

to

help?”

Arthur

asked.The

young

man

looked

at

the

twosuitcases

in

the

back

seat

and

then

said,

"Thanks.

If

you're

sure

it

would

notbe

too

much

trouble,you

could

help

me

get

these
