Norman gets hammered

It was a breezy Saturday afternoon, and Norman had offered to help Lisa fix her backyard gate. As he was approaching her house, he noticed her driveway was on a significant incline. "Oh dear, it looks like I'll have to be careful parking!" he exclaimed to himself. Norman parked his car and made sure to pull the emergency brake, to prevent his car from potentially rolling backwards and causing damage to others.

Norman checked his hair in the rear view mirror and got out of the car. He walked around the house to the backyard, as Lisa instructed him to, and saw Lisa struggling with a piece of wood that had fallen off of the gate.

"Hello Lisa! It looks like you need a hand," Norman said as he walked over to help. He took the board and held it in the position it was in before the board fell off the gate. "If you have a hammer and nails somewhere around here, we should be able to fix this." Lisa went inside to get a hammer and a nail and came back outside. "Goodness, it sure is windy out today!" she stated as she positioned the nail on the edge of the board. Just as she raised the hammer and began to tap the nail, a cat suddenly ran in between Lisa's legs, causing her to miss the nail and hit the hammer directly on the tip of Norman's finger.

"Ouch!!" Norman cried out as he examined his wound. It seemed to be moderately bruised. He exhaled deeply and looked at Lisa. "I'm terribly sorry, Norman!" Lisa exclaimed. "My kitten often gets into mischief. I normally keep Lisa inside, but I must have left the back door open when I went in to grab the nails. Would you like an ice pack?"

"Yes, that would be nice." Norman responded, admiring the little kitten running around the backyard.
