### When the Ambulance Needs an Ambulance
Have you ever wondered what happens when an ambulance feels under the weather? While passing through my neighborhood, I stumbled upon this curious scene—an ambulance out of action, quietly rusting away behind a tangle of greenery. For once, it was the rescuer waiting to be rescued!
It’s a bittersweet sight, really. The very vehicle that once dashed through traffic, lights blazing, to carry people in need now sits abandoned, like a retired superhero whose cape has grown a little too heavy. If vehicles could tell stories, maybe this one would recount tales of sirens at midnight and dramatic escapes from traffic jams. Now, it’s stuck with a new problem: a serious case of “rusty backdoor syndrome.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony.
Do ambulances get health insurance? Does a mechanic prescribe it a dose of “engine syrup” or a fresh “bandage” of paint? Maybe one day, another ambulance will arrive, not with a stretcher, but with a tow hook, ready to carry this veteran away to the mysterious land of Old Vehicle Rejuvenation.
Until then, this ambulance reminds everyone that even the fastest helpers sometimes need help themselves. And maybe, just maybe, we all need an occasional rescue—no matter how strong or speedy we look on the outside.

I hope the cartoon sketch captures the humor and irony of the situation.
