Every time he passed by, his dog would start barking wildly and then run away, tail between its legs. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, why only bananas?’ The old man replied, smiling mysteriously, ‘Because they’re the only thing that makes my dog behave.’ As he walked off, the dog peeked around the corner, wagging its tail proudly. In Piggly Wiggly, some secrets are best left unsolved.

The driver shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him. Next morning, a neighbor joked that maybe it was just an overeager shopper who forgot their cart again.

The cashier asked curiously, 'What’s this?' He smiled and whispered, 'Just some secret ingredients for my famous chili recipe.'
