delivering milk to our doorstep His name was Mr Basille He wore a white cap and drove a white truck As a 5 year old boy I couldn t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer Of course he delivered more than milk There was cheese eggs and so on If we needed to change our order my mother would pen a note Please add a bottle of buttermilk 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 existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen Mr Basille even had a key to our house for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors so that the milk wouldn t freeze And I remember Mr Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery There is sadly no home milk delivery today Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete Besides milk is for sale everywhere and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service Recently an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories I took it home and planted it on the back porch 门廊 Every so often my son s friends will ask what it is So I start telling stories of my boyhood and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk 本文讲述了自己小时候与送奶人之间的故事 Basille 先生不仅是送奶的 而且和他的 家人建立了密切的关系 现在大公司开始大量生产奶 到处都有卖奶的 因此不再需要送奶 服务 但作者很怀念以前的事情
