But your headmaster came to me and told me that one of the tyres of the vehicle is completely down and cannot move out. So I decided that, as my school, I will provide you with tyres. So as we are sitting here now, I brought six (6) new tyres to you. We hope that the bus can now be put on the road to use” He explained.
