John was out shopping when he realized he had left his wallet at home. He wanted to buy a few groceries, but when he reached the checkout, he had no way to pay. Luckily, his friend Sarah was with him. She noticed John looking worried and asked, "Do you have any money?"

John sighed and shook his head. "No, I forgot my wallet at home."

Sarah smiled. "No problem. I have some cash. How much do you need?"

John was relieved. "I only need about ten dollars to pay for the groceries. I’ll pay you back tomorrow."

Sarah handed him the money and said, "Don’t worry about it. Just pay me back when you can."

As they left the store, John realized how lucky he was to have a friend like Sarah. He promised himself to always carry some cash in the future, just in case.

This situation taught John an important lesson: always be prepared. Having cash on hand can save you from a lot of trouble, especially when you least expect it.
