One morning, a little boy walking home from school stopped in front of Chicago Auto Repair Service Inc., staring wide-eyed at something under the hood of an old truck. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, pointing, ‘what’s that glowing orange thing?’ His dad looked down and smiled, 'Oh, that's just the truck's heart, son.' He reached for his toolbox and pulled out a banana. 'See, it runs on bananas!' The little boy giggled, then turned to see if anyone else noticed the glowing fruit powering their neighborhood truck.

As they worked together, the engine purred like never before. Later that day, the delivery driver noticed his neighbor’s car was in front of the shop—compliments were exchanged, and it turned out the mechanic fixed both their cars every week without them knowing. A friendly smile lingered on everyone's face as the sun broke through the fog, leaving behind only a warm urban legend.

Next morning, everyone in the neighborhood gathered around as the owner proudly announced his latest acquisition—a vintage robot mechanic for special cases.’
