John had a new car, but it was in the garage for repairs, so he borrowed his wife's old car one evening. He found that it didn't have much gas in the tank, so he drove to a service station and filled it up. But then the car wouldn't start.
He thought there was probably something loose in the battery, so he took a small wrench out of his pocket and hit the battery with it. The car started at once.
Then John saw that one of the lights was not working either. "There's something loose there too," he thought. He hit it on the side with his wrench, and it lit up right away.
The garage man was watching, and then he ran over to John and said, "If you ever want to sell your car, I don't want it, but I'd be very happy to make you an offer for that wrench."
A. Answer these questions:
- Why did John take his wife's car to a service station?
- What did John think, and then do, when his wife's car wouldn't start?
- What did John see after that?

- Who was watching John?
- What did the garage man say to him?

- The garage man didn't know _________how much John's wrench would cost.
