=Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.=

Justin is a clever boy.He was always prepared, his favorite quotation was ( Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy ). His room is full of junk pieces and his parents always argue with him about it and to clean his room.

If his parents asked: what is the use of this ?! he always replies: Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.

Justin had a blue backpack and he always carries it with him.For him it's just like a mini-Bedroom with his junk collection, It's look like unimportant but for him it was a treasure.Justin was known as a problem solver, many of his friends and neighbors go to him when they need a solution.On the first day of school, Justin's friend Kenny was looking for him.

"Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?" Kenny said. "I lost the scrap of paper it was written on. I have science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked very worried.

"Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping it. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."

He took a notebook and soft lead pencil out.He took out the page that Kenny wrote the locker combination in,Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it slowly over the indentations. Slowly the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, surrounded by the gray pencil rubbings.

"That’s amazing!" Kenny shouted. "I owe you one." And he ran to open his locker.

In the science class Mr. Tran was talking about the structure of the solar system using a model.Suddenly he hit the model and it felt down and came a apart.Planets and rings and connector rods went everywhere, going under desks and lab stations.The students searched around on the floor for ten minutes and finally they were able to get every piece except one—a connector rod that was stuck in a crack between two lab stations.

"If we had a magnet," said Mr. Tran, "we could easily coax it out that way. But I gave all the magnet kits to the elementary school yesterday."

Justin was already searching through his backpack. "I have some materials that will work just like a magnet, I think," he told Mr. Tran. He took out a battery, an iron nail, and some electrical wire and tape, while Mr. Tran and the other students looked wondering what he will do.

"Why do you have all of that stuff?" Louise Baxter said. Justin smiled and repeated his quotation. "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."

By surrounding the wire around the nail and taping each end to a battery side, he was able to make a magnet strong enough to take the rod out of the crack.

"Wow!" said Mr. Tran.

"No problem," said Justin.

After school, Justin took the bus to the mall where his work at a music store.His boss, Gail, was calculating and checking all the CDs and tapes in the classical music section.While he was helping a customer at the register, Justin heard Gail yell, "Oh, no! I forgot my glasses! There’s no way I can read this list without them." Justin moaned, picked up his backpack, and went to Gail.

"I think I can help you out," he said, unzipping the bag.While Gail watched in shock, he took out a bottle of petroleum jelly, a washer, a glass slide, and a small bottle of water. He put the jelly on the bottom of the washer, placed it securely, jelly-side down, on the glass slide, and then put a drop of water in the center of the washer.

He put the weird tool on top of the inventory list and said to Gail, "See what happens when you look through the water droplet." Gail looked and her eyes  expanded with happiness.

"Wow!" she cried. "It magnifying the letters that I’m looking at, just like a magnifying glass!" She rapped Justin's back. "I’m all set now," she said. "Thanks."

Justin smiled. "No problem," he said, returning to the register.

It was just another interesting day in the life of the boy whose quotation was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."
