There is sadly no home milk deliverytoday.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.
