The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing why everyone at Strickland Brothers seemed so cheerful.

2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon with an old toolbox under his arm. He knocked on the door and said, 'I heard you guys can fix anything—can you look at this?' Inside, the brothers Strickland peered inside the toolbox, muttering under their breath. After a moment, they looked up and grinned. ‘We’ve seen worse,’ said one brother. They fixed it in no time, for free, saying only, ‘Next time, bring it in when it’s still working.’ The neighbor drove off, shaking his head but smiling, knowing he’d just met some of the strangest geniuses around.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Strickland Brothers and paused, listening intently as an old clock chimed in the distance.

With a smile, he waved goodbye to the Stricklands and drove off, leaving behind another day of quiet repairs.
