Soon enough, everyone in town was rushing to get their cars washed before bedtime. One morning, a delivery driver complained that his truck felt too clean—so slippery he couldn’t steer straight!

Curious, he leaned closer, and suddenly the hum grew louder—like an army of tiny vacuum cleaners had joined the chorus. Turns out it was just his radio playing on max volume while he dozed off. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, finished his wash, and drove away, promising himself never again to nap at work.
