This must be the home of some well-off shepherd,

Thought Zack, as he shuffled out of the shower over to the window.

Before he left, he looked to see if there was something to eat.

In the refrigerator there was no shortage of food.

Zack sifted through the food and made breakfast!

What a great home to have your car break down in front of!

He placed some money on the table to pay for what he had eaten.

Zack shielded his eyes and opened the door.

Because it had been an honest car problem
