** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheAzranLegacy'': The 50th puzzle revolves around a young forest boy who is carrying a wooden wheelbarrow stocked with the apples he gathered to take them home. The problem is that he gets lost, but some forest animals are willing to give him directions to exit the forest in exchange for feeding them with apples.

He and Bart then decide to deliver the product Red intended to transport while driving 2200 meters to Atlanta, Georgia. What seems to be a simple (if lengthy) task, however, becomes a life-or-death adventure after Homer is told that all trucks (including Red's) are AutomatedAutomobiles and the other truckers threaten to kill him if he reveals the secret to the public (since they had fallen into complacency and laziness thanks to the automation system doing almost all the job for them); Homer and Bart manage to flee from the mob (at one point, they do a very risky driving maneuver to get past their largest blockade) and thus deliver the shipment (revealed to be artichokes, though surprisingly some migrant workers were inside as well) to its destination, fulfilling Red's final job.
