Panel 1: Sara stands inside the truck as the Can-Man lifts the mattress up, still whistling. Sara thinks, "The Can-Man... is helping me load the truck? He really never stops whistling..."

Panel 2: The can man walks away, already starting to whistle again. He says "You drive safe now, y'hear?" and Sara answers "Thanks!" as she starts to close up the retractable ramp on the back of the truck.

Panel 3: Sara closes the ramp on the back of the moving truck with a thud. She looks down at the ground and says "Huh."

Panel 4: A small pile of pennies is on the sidewalk. "Those weren't there before, were they?"

    No picking up stray pennies. It’s a trap. First they give you good luck, but if you don’t pick them up you get bad luck. Gradually, you find more and more pennies until you can’t possibly pick them all up at which time the devil claims his due and pulls you down to Hell.

    Alternatively, picking up a random penny probably isn’t worth the risk you will put your back out. Or maybe that’s just me.
