Question

A young man was stopped on the side of the road with apparent engine trouble. His Ford Model T had overheated and stalled. An elderly man pulled up behind him and got out of his car. He approached the younger man and greeted him. “Son, having trouble?”

The young man kept his head under the hood of the car and never looked up. “Yeah, it’s overheated again. I don’t know why it keeps doing that. But I’ll figure it out.”

The older man stepped to the other side of the car. “Can I take a look at it for you?”

The young man snapped, “Look, old man, I don’t need your help. If I can’t fix it, then I’m sure you can’t either.”

The older man replied, “Well, all right, then. Good luck to you.” And with that, the older gentleman—Mr. Henry Ford—got back in his car and drove away.
