Mini Story 1 — At Home
The chair leaned slightly to one side.
“I saw that move,” he said. “It’s definitely loose.”
She nodded and picked up the saw from the floor.
“I saw it too,” she replied. “That’s why I grabbed this.”
He watched closely as she worked.
“I didn’t realize you knew how to use a saw.”
She smiled. “You’d be surprised what people learn.”
A few minutes later, he stepped back.
“Now that I see it, the difference is obvious.”
She set the saw down and wiped her hands.
“Good thing you saw the problem before it got worse.”
Mini Story 2 — At Work
The supervisor glanced at the report.
“I saw the issue you flagged,” she said. “Good catch.”
Nearby, maintenance worked quietly.
“Do you need a saw for that?” someone asked.
“Yes,” came the reply. “The panel won’t fit otherwise.”
Later, during a break, a coworker leaned over.
“I saw you handle that situation really well.”
She smiled. “Thanks. Once I saw what was happening, it was clear.”
In the corner, the saw rested on the workbench, unused for now.
Mini Story 3 — In Public
The park bench creaked as he sat down.
“Did you see that?” she asked.
“Yes,” he said. “I saw it shift when you leaned back.”
Nearby, a worker adjusted a wooden sign.
“He’s using a saw,” she said. “Looks like they’re fixing it.”
He nodded. “I saw them earlier measuring the wood.”
A moment later, the sign stood straight.
“Glad we saw that before sitting there,” she said.
He laughed. “Yeah. One saw and a sharp eye make a difference.”
