Summary
Summary
Carla, on vacation, needs clean clothes, so she visits a self-service laundromat. Most machines are in use, but she finds one free and follows the steps carefully: add detergent, insert coins, choose a program, press start. While waiting, she reads her book and gets lost in the story. Two hours later, the machine beeps. She smiles at the fresh scent of her clean clothes and returns happily to her hotel room.
