Read

Omar buys a desk for his home office. He opens the box and places the parts on the floor. Before he begins, he reads the instructions and counts the screws. His brother offers to help and brings a small toolbox. Together, they attach the legs and lift the desk carefully. One corner feels loose, so Omar tightens the screws again. His brother moves a chair into place while Omar connects his computer. They stand back and inspect their work. The desk fits perfectly beside the window. Omar clears away the packaging and thanks his brother for spending the afternoon with him.
