Lorenzo and his army waited outside the city gates, preparing to overthrow King Prime.

"How are we going to get in?" his general asked. "His guards outnumber us three to one."

"I'm thinking," Lorenzo said. "Okay, I've got it. Drop your weapons. We're going to be delivery guys."

"We're all going to be delivery guys?"

"Yeah," Lorenzo replied. "Everyone go back home and grab something you won't miss and put it in a box. Then we pile all of the boxes outside the gate at midnight. In the morning, all of the guards come out to open the boxes and we rush the gates and overthrow King Prime."

The plan worked, and that's why we celebrate Prime Day every year.
