1. At Cabrales Auto Repair Service, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A young boy, playing with his toy truck outside, would suddenly stop mid-play and stare intently into the workshop window. No one knew why he kept doing that—until one day, a delivery driver saw something even stranger. Finally, someone asked the owner about the mysterious child. It turned out that every evening after work, Mr. Cabrales’ little brother would come over from next door to watch cars being fixed—he was fascinated by all those shiny tools and loud noises! The delivery driver laughed, saying, ‘Now I know why he always waves at me when I drop off parts.’

The two shared a laugh as they finished unloading, and soon after, the driver left with a newfound respect for Cabrales’ place—where even late-night deliveries felt like friendly visits.

As he stepped out of his truck, he heard a small voice from inside the shop: ‘Uncle, why are those lights on so late?’ The delivery driver looked around, startled. In the dim light, he saw an old man with twinkling eyes and a little boy standing next to him. 'Oh, hello there,' said Uncle Carlos, patting the boy's head. 'Just working late, my young friend. These cars don't fix themselves!' The delivery driver laughed, shook Uncle Carlos' hand, and went on his way—leaving behind a legend about a magical auto repair shop that never closed.
