Happy Ending – Mobility Scooter Story

Some months ago Martin, a well known resident of La Siesta, who is also a disabled widower, was seen trying to make his way to the medical centre in La Siesta by means of an electric wheel chair, not meant for road use at all, and should he hit any obstacle or rough patch in the road, would have been catapulted out on to the road.
