One sunny day， Billy and Timmy were delivering a box to Mr. Thompson. The box was full of glasses. They were carrying the box on a cart. They were taking the glasses to Mr. Thompsons store at the end of the street. They were being very careful with the crate full of glasses.

As they were passing by the school， they saw Jack and Tom. Jack and Tom were playing soccer. Billy and Timmy asked the other boys for help. The four boys steered the cart through the streets. While Billy and Timmy were pulling from the front， Jack and Tom were pushing from behind.

As they were walking， Billy and Timmy were guiding the cart over bumps and holes. They were protecting the glasses. When the four boys arrived at the store， Mr. Thompson was waiting for them.
