Le crick /car jack
There was one a man. A man who is used to people looking down at him and he was not happy with that. Obviously.
Many times he tried to find something that he is good at to prove to his people (friends, neighbours, family that) that he is good at something, but he always end up embarrassing himself.
He Once tried to prove that he is financially successful, as that is a big issue for him. People usually look him down because he was not financially unsuccessful. Or may be , just because he is used to that, he thinks that everybody is looking him down.
May by it is ALL in his mind.
One day, to prove he is financially successful, because he could not prove any other quality, he bought a car to measure himself against his neighbours.
One day he was driving his new car, and he got a puncture. He went to change the wheel and reliased he has no jack to change the wheel.
He look around him and found a happy looking man, nicely dressed sitting confortably in his car listening to music.
He tought of asking him to land him a jack to change the wheel.
On his way to this man, he had a 2nd thought; he said to himself: “what if he rejects me?.. what if he tells me “how come you buy a car and you cannot afford to buy accessories” . he had a though and then went back to his car.
Then he came up with an idea; he thought of got to the man, pretend to be just friendly, have a friendly chat and then, ask him for this important favour.
Good idea.
Half way throught to this man and he has another thought, he thought that would make it even worst if this man realises that he only pretended to be friendly for his own interest….etc. and that the man would even be furious with such hypocrisy
He kept going back and forth for a while each time he comes up with an optimistic idea that encourages him to ask this favour from this man, another part of him stop him doing that and suggest to him just the opposite. Eg. He would think: “…oh! This man looks like a snob who will not to talk me”
“…this man looks rich and may not want to talk to ordinary people like me, who own a car like mine…”
“… he may suspect that I am going to attack him and call the police, or make a sceen…”
After exosting all this possibilities he decided not to risk embarrassment. So he went to this rich, happy looking man and shouted at him: “…. You are full of yourself , and snob…. You think you are better than other people. Well you are not . I may not have a nice car like yours, but I worked for mine. You may have paid for it with dirty money”……”…anyway if I wanted to, I could have a better car than yours”
The poor man looked at him. And did not find anything to say. Just “…sorry…”
--but sorry for what sorry for being happy, for being rich, or for other people’s attitude / psychological problem.??

Hi,
I'll do part of it for you.
When we tell a story like this, we can use either all present tense or all past tense, not both together. You had some past tense, so I've used past tense. Here's what I suggest. You should go through the rest and correct all your tenses. Also, as was suggested before, check your spelling. Then repost the story, perhaps in the writing forum, and I
