When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had 41 delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and 42 a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin 43 fixed to his belt. He 44 this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered 45 milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our 46 , my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of 47 next delivery” -and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般)appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There 48 a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille 49 had a key to our house, for those times when it was so 50 outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille 51 taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his 52 .
There is 53 no home milk delivery today. Big 54 allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it 55 for milkmen to compete(竞争)des, milk is for sale 56 , and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw 57 my childhood memories. I took it home and 58 it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends 59 ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us 60 along with his milk.
