 In order to earn enough money to buy a motor scooter Beni and Itse work at the new "Nashe Maalo Car Wash," owned by Beni s and Mali s families. Beni explains to Itse that for him working at the car wash isn t just about buying the scooter; all Albanian boys are expected to get some kind of work at his age as a sign of growing up. One day, a red convertible drives into the car wash. Beni and Itse are so impressed; they fail to serve the customer. Ahmed scolds Beni for not taking his responsibilities seriously and letting the family down. Beni apologizes and asks for a chance to prove himself, so Ahmed puts Beni in charge one afternoon. The same convertible comes in and Beni takes Itse and Sanya for a ride in it. He crashes the car and injures Sanya s leg. Beni and Itse give their "scooter money" to the red car owner to pay for the repair, but Beni s father remains disappointed in his son s behavior. Beni vows to never make such a mistake again.
