As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—everyone inside seemed to be whispering and pointing towards an old mail slot. Curious, he approached the door and heard a soft voice say, ‘Look in that old mail slot—it’s been there for years!’ Peering through, he saw nothing but dusty envelopes until suddenly—a squirrel popped its head out, scurried around, then disappeared back inside with a letter clutched in its teeth. Everyone burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who realized it was just another day at Chapel Lakes Post Office.
