3. In the early hours of one autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hilary's Bakery with a truckload of freshly baked cookies. As he was unloading boxes onto the back counter, he noticed something peculiar—a small, handwritten note attached to a bag of plain chocolate chip cookies. The note read: 'For your kindness and sweetness, enjoy these extra cookies.' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Later that day, as neighbors were enjoying their treats, an elderly lady approached Hilary and asked where she could get such delicious cookies. Smiling warmly, Hilary replied, ‘Oh, those? They’re from our secret midnight cookie deliveries.’

And so, every full moon, the delivery driver returned, never questioning why everyone called him ‘Mr. Cookie’ behind his back.
