Bob always took the newspaper to Grandpa White's home last before going home. Grandpa
White's was at the end of the road. Bob liked Grandpa White. He was often waiting for him
near the front gate with sweets or a nice cake. Besides, he often asked Bob about things
he was doing-about what he was going to do for the summer and what he liked to do.
The thing that Bob didn't like about Grandpa was his never-ending stories about his
boyhood (童年)in California. Bob never asked to hear about Grandpa's boyhood, but he could
n't get away.
After Grandpa's wife died in October, Bob could see that Grandpa was lonelier than
ever. He would often join Bob halfway along the road and walk along with him as he gave
out the papers. Grandpa seemed to have all day, and Bob often was late getting his papers
to his customers (订报者), Bob didn't want to complain (抱怨), but the customers were
unhappy.
