2. It was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon at Smile Cleaners when a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. He paused for a moment, curious but not alarmed, until he realized it sounded like someone singing in perfect pitch. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside. There, hanging on a rack, was an old coat that seemed to be gently swaying back and forth. As he watched, the coat began to sing along with the hum—a scratchy version of ‘My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and walked away, muttering something about eccentric neighbors.
3. It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon at Smile Cleaners when a delivery driver noticed something unusual. As he unloaded bags of freshly cleaned clothes, he overheard two regular customers whispering about a mysterious figure they claimed had been seen lurking around the back alley. Curious, the delivery driver followed their hushed voices and found an old man watering plants in the dimly lit corner. Turned out he was just Mr. Johnson, a neighborhood gardener who helped out part-time for extra cash. The customers thought he was some shadowy figure because his smile was always hidden behind a big straw hat. After that day, everyone at Smile Cleaners started calling him ‘Mr. Sunshine’.

She beamed at him and said, “I feel like dancing!” The delivery guy shook his head, laughing softly as he thought, 'Smile Cleaners indeed!'
