As she walked past him, he asked casually, ‘Aren’t you ever bored doing the same thing every day?’ She laughed gently and replied, ‘Oh no, I’ve been making this exact bread for over thirty years—people here love it just the way it is.’ The driver nodded, realizing that sometimes routine can be comforting too.
