A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS
Two car owners, Jide and Tunde, are standing by their parked cars, Jide looks frustrated while Tunde looks amused.
Tunde: Hey, Jide! What's up? Why do you look so down?
Jide: (Sighs) I just got back from my trip down to Lagos for a meeting, only to find out it was cancelled.
Tunde: (laughs) Are you serious? That's hilarious!
Jide: (frowns) How is that funny? I wasted my time and fuel, and now I have to go back tomorrow.
Tunde: Well, you could have avoided all that if you had just listened to the radio. The cancellation was announced on the FM station this morning.
Jide: (confused) Radio? What does the radio have to do with anything?
Tunde: (smirks) Well, my friend, that's what we call a car stereo. You know, that thing in your car that plays music and also has an FM radio.
Jide: (realizes his mistake) Oh no, I forgot my car stereo is broken. That's why I didn't hear the announcement.
Tunde: (laughs again) You see, that's why you should always make sure your car stereo is working. You never know when you'll need to hear important announcements.
Jide: (sarcastically) Thanks for the tip, Tunde. I'll make sure to fix it before my next trip.
Tunde: (still chuckling) No problem, my friend. At least now you know the importance of a car stereo and FM radio. Who knows, maybe next time you'll hear about a traffic jam before you get stuck in it.
Jide: (smiles reluctantly) Yeah, I guess I'll have to start listening to the radio more often. Thanks, Tunde. You always know how to cheer me up.
Tunde: (patting Jide on the back) That's what friends are for, Jide. Now let's go grab a drink and forget about your wasted trip.
Please don't be like jide, always listen to the FM radio station on your car stereo.
