The Sign Story
Once upon a time there was a small man named Karl riding his bicycle to work.
Karl was just an ordinary little man in every way except one small thing, Karl loved signs.
In fact he liked signs so much so he even owned a little shop that sold signs and that is where Karl was going. So on his way to work he started to think about different kind of signs he liked (a very normal thing to think about if you are Karl) and after a while he decided the sign he liked most was the “watch your step” sign with a big fancy arrow next to the text.

Karl was very happy to come to that conclusion but suddenly he saw something extraordinary! What he saw something that was going to replace the “watch your step” sign as his favorite sign, he saw was a “bike route” sign.
This made him very excited because he was riding a bike and there next to him was there a sign with a bike on it! Karl decided that he wanted to follow the road because he really liked the sign.
When he followed the route for a while he spotted another man and it looked like he was searching for something so what did Karl do? He did what any nice sign loving person would do, he stopped and ask the man if he was searching for signs or something similar.
Now we have to understand that usually when Karl asked if they were looking for signs they usually gave him a look that asked if he was crazy. But what happen next was something that made Karl very surprised and happy because the man answered him by saying, “in a matter of fact I am, I am looking for signs for my sign museum”. This made Karl very happen so he invited him to follow Karl to his sign shop. The man gladly accepted the invitation and presented himself as Mr. Sign.
When they arrived to the shop Karl showed Mr sign around and showed him several signs. The signs Karl was most proud of (and therefore not for sale) was the “fire escape” sign

The “beware of dog” sign
and the “souvenir” sign
Mr.Sign was very impressed by all the good signs and asked Karl if he could buy the signs for his museum but since it was Karls favorite signs they weren’t for sale. This made Mr.sign very sad because he really wanted those sings to his museum but they continued to watch other signs as the “down “sign
and the “we have moved” sign
When they had watched signs in silence for a long time Mr.sign suddenly spoke excited “If you don’t want to sell your signs, why don’t you let you us borrow them so everyone can see these signs?”. Karl thought it was a great idea so they instantly started to pack the signs down and went to the museum to place the sign in the museum.
On there way to the museum they saw several traffic sign such as the “end school zone” sign
