My Wheelchair

 

About 7 months ago I bought a wheelchair at a recycle shop.

I didn’t need it, but for 1000 yen (about $10) it was a bargain.

I pretended not to notice the look on the clerk’s face, forked over the money, and took it home.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted one.

And now I am the proud owner of one!

I think most people, who don’t need them, have a fascination with wheelchairs.

There is something about sitting in that seat and wheeling yourself around.

I had a BBQ party and 90% of those who came either sat in the wheelchair or took it for a spin.

I could see on a few friends’ faces that they were debating whether they should get one too.

We could have races on weekends!
