FLAT TIRE

The car was leaning against the curb with a flat tire. Standing beside the car, looking disconsolately at the tire, a very cute girl.
So cute that another car stopped in the back and a man got out saying “Never mind”. He would change the tire.
─ Do you have a monkey? asked the man.
"No," replied the girl.

─ All right, I do, said the man. ─ Do you have a spare?
"No," said the girl.
'Let's use mine,' said the man.
And he set to work, changing the tire, under the girl's gaze.
It ended just as the bus that the girl was waiting for arrived. He stood there, sweating, mouth open, watching the bus pull away.
After a while the owner of the car arrived.
─ Gosh, you changed the tire for me. Thank you very much.
─ É. I… I can't see a flat tire. I have to change.
─ Strange thing.
─ It is a compulsion. I do not know.
