The Shofar Firetruck

When a firetruck's siren is heard, different people react to it differently. Let us examine each of them.

The inner-city resident
This person hears sirens and honks under his kitchen windows at all hours of the day. He has grown used to these sounds being a part of the ambience which he considers "normal-life city sounds". The siren is no more concerning or interesting to him than the chirping of the birds, or clatter of storefront gates opening and closing.
