1. One morning, a delivery driver rushed into Fitzsimons Federal Credit Union, frantically waving a package. ‘I’ve got it!’ he exclaimed, but no one noticed—everyone was too busy staring at the giant goldfish swimming in the water fountain. ‘Excuse me,’ said an elderly gentleman nearby, eyeing the fish with curiosity. The delivery driver turned around and smiled sheepishly. ‘It’s not what you think,’ he whispered. Just then, the fish swam up to him, nudged his hand, and dropped a tiny envelope. Inside was a note: “Next time, check before you panic.” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe, just maybe, the fish had been there longer than anyone knew.’

But then she scanned her computer screen and smiled, handing over the money with a wink. A few days later, another neighbor casually mentioned that he’d seen Mr. Moonlight delivering packages in the neighborhood.

'Sir,' she said gently, 'there’s no such thing as a future account.' ‘Oh,’ he replied, tapping his cane thoughtfully. ‘Then maybe I’ll just leave some extra money here for myself.’ He winked, picked up his envelope, and walked out, leaving everyone in stitches.
