It's been here for ages—like a regular customer.' The delivery driver looked puzzled but then burst out laughing. 'I get it now,' he said, 'you're just keeping an eye on things!'

2. At dawn, when most tire centers are quiet, a delivery driver arrived at Economy Tire Center with an unusual load: not tires but old clocks wrapped in brown paper. As he unloaded them, everyone started asking what those clocks were for. The manager shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Maybe they’re for time trials!' And from that day on, whenever someone needed new tires, they’d hear a faint chime in the background—‘Tick-tock, your tires are here!’

3. At dawn, when most tire centers are quiet, a delivery driver arrived at Economy Tire Center with an unusual cargo. As he opened the back of the truck, a strange humming sound filled the air, drawing curious glances from nearby neighbors. Curious neighbors peeked out their windows, wondering what was causing such an odd noise so early in the morning. To everyone’s surprise, the delivery driver pulled out not tires but a giant inflatable unicorn, destined for some local festival. The Economy Tire Center became the talk of town that day—more for its colorful prank than for any flat tires.

Turns out, the old guy was just fixing tires late into the night—because he loved his job so much he forgot to lock up.}
