The Old Tyre




A tire that once explored the world with a car was unwilling to accept that it became old, so it embarked on its final journey alone.

Along the way, it scared many animals until it hit a rock and lay down. However, from then on, it found out that it could bring happiness to so many people. Even though it can no longer travel, it has learned the true meaning of life.
