No one else seemed to notice it, but from then on, every now and then someone would mention catching a whiff of something peculiar in the air. Soon enough, everyone started bringing their own snacks—cookies, candies, even home-baked goodies—to share with whoever mentioned smelling something odd. Before long, the Elgin Post Office became known not just for its mysterious scent but also for its weekly impromptu parties where neighbors and workers gathered to gossip, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company.

Finally, one day, panting and sweaty, he returned to the post office. There, his surprised neighbor was waiting with another envelope, which read: 'Congratulations! Now you're just too slow.'
