Ponch sat on his motorcycle. Everything was fine, and then all the sudden. It stopped working. Ponch pulled over to the side of the road. He called it in on his radio. Then he got off his motorcycle. He forgot to put the kick stand down. His motorcycle fell over.
"Seriously, could this day get any worse?" He said out loud. Then he saw his motorcycle was leaking something.
"Now that is just great. Why me? Why did this have to happen to me?" Ponch asked. He angrily kicked his motorcycle. All that did was hurt his toes. He grabbed his foot, and started to jump up and down trying to help his foot feel better. He bumped into the curb, and fell down. More like he was forced to sit down. As if the curb had grabbed him and said, "Hey man sit down, and cool off!" Ponch sat down, but he was not happy at all. Ponch began to mumble some Spanish under his breath. No one understood what he was saying. Then he heard something.
"Help me!" Ponch heard the voice of a little girl. He came running to where he had heard the sound. He looked, there was a little girl trapped in a burning building.
"Don't worry, I'll be right there!" Ponch yelled. Ponch went back, and called for a fire truck. Then ran back to the building. He held his breath, and ran inside. He looked around, and finally found the little girl there. He grabbed her, and took her outside. Soon the fire engine showed up to put out the fire.
"Hi, I'm Ponch," Ponch said to the little girl.
"I'm, Jena," she said. Then an older man came over to them.
"Grazie," He said. He hugged Jena.
"This is my grandpa," She told Ponch.
"Oh, hi," Ponch said.
"Ciao," the man said.
"Do you speak English?" Ponch asked.
"Si," the man said. Ponch smiled.
"So, you are Italian?" He asked.
"Si."
"That's cool, I don't know Italian much. I speak Spanish. It is pretty close to Italian sometimes though," Ponch said. The man smiled.
"Yes it is," he said. Ponch smiled,
"Yay, you do speak English."
"I told you I did," the man said. Ponch smiled.
"Yeah, I guess you did," Ponch replied.
"Well, anyway, thanks for saving my granddaughter. I am very grateful," the man said.
"You're welcome Sir, it is all part of my job."
"You did an excellent job Ponch. Lei Mi Ha Reso Felice," Jena said. Ponch looked at her puzzled.
"You made my day. Lei ha salvato la mia vita…. That means you saved my life," Jena added when she saw the confused expression on Ponch's face.
"Awe thanks, you are sweet," Ponch said.
"Lei Mi Ha Reso Felice, to you too Jena. You made my day. I was having the worst day ever, but then I met you," Ponch said. Jena smiled. She hugged Ponch.
"Ti voglio bene," She said. Ponch could tell what that meant.
"I love you too," he said.
