Cornelius was proud of being practical. In fact, he could do most things, especially if it was mechanical. He was also interested in animals and nature and stuff like that. Practical and sensitive was how his mother described him; Jack of All Trades was his friends’ appellation.
How exciting it was for Cornelius to have the opportunity to drive his mother and his girlfriend in his automobile through the big game reserve!
How annoying it was to get a puncture! Thanks goodness Cornelius knew how to do things like change a tire.
