Once upon a time there was a simple car named 

Jack. Jack had a nice owner named Sarah. Sarah 

took care of Jack and he couldn't be happier. 

One day, Sarah came across a new car the she liked 

even more than Jack. The car had a perfect coat of 

paint, cool rims, and made Jack look old and boring. 

Sarah decided that it was time she bought a new car 

and decided to name him Will. After getting her new 

car, Sarah sent Jack to the junkyard.

Jack was devastated; he refused to talk to anyone else 

and kept all of his feelings to himself. Soon Jack 

began to blame Sarah’s departure on his appearance 

and he started obsessing over how he looked, making 

him feel even worse. 

One day, Jack decided that he was tired of feeling down. He 

drove all around town, making sure that no one spotted 

him driving without an owner, and came across what 

appeared to be a pile of shiny metal in a ditch. Jack went 

close and couldn’t believe what he saw. There were tons of 

brand new car rims. Yellow rims, green rims, blue rims with 

flames, Jack was thrilled. He started imagining how all of 

the different car rims would look on him. He was so happy 

that he forgot about Sarah. 

The next day, when he woke up in the junkyard, Jack realized 

what he was going to do to make himself look better: he was 

going to collect cool rims for his tires.   Everyday, Jack would 

visit the ditch where he found his rims to clean them, count 

them, and hide them away from other cars. Jack soon became 

obsessed with his rims and they were all that he could think 

about. 

The town Jack lived in was run by the Butler brothers, Peter 

and Sam. They owned the coolest and fastest cars in town 

and loved racing. At one of their races, the brothers got into a 

fight about who was the better racer. Sam, being the 

youngest and most stubborn of the two, reminded Peter of 

how he once abandoned his car, Jane, for a newer and more 

fashionable car, Nancy, and said that no good racer would 

give up on a car that had been so good to them. 

“Your cars are full of fake parts. You don’t even know what 

it's like to have a real racecar,” Peter answered.

Sam   was mad. He stormed off, determined to prove his 

brother wrong. He drove all through town, looking for a race 

car that would show his brother he was a true racecar driver. 

Sam wondered off into parts of town he had never been 

before and decided to pull over to ask someone where he was. 

However, when Sam got out of his car, he found a ditch full of 

shiny, clean tire rims next to the side of the road 

“Yes!” Sam said, “This is exactly what I need to make my cars 

look racing ready.”

Sam quickly began to pile all of the rims into the back of his 

car, before anyone could see him take them .
