Three friends – an elephant, a monkey, and a hummingbird – decide to go on a road trip across the country. They pack up their car and hit the road, but after a few hours of driving, the car starts making a strange noise.
The elephant says, "I'll pop the hood and take a look." So he gets out of the car, lifts up the hood, and starts tinkering around. After a few minutes, he leans back and says, "I think I found the problem. The engine is full of peanuts!"
The monkey, who is sitting in the driver's seat, starts laughing and says, "That's probably my fault. I always stash away snacks for the road trip."
The hummingbird, who had been quiet up until now, suddenly speaks up and says, "Well, I hope you didn't stash any snacks in the trunk, because I have a feeling we're going to be humming along the road for a while!"
The three friends burst out laughing at the absurdity of the situation, and continue on their journey with a newfound appreciation for the importance of checking the car before a road trip.
