Bob always took the newspaper to Grandpa White's home 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, what he was going to do
for the summer and what he liked to do.

California. Bob was never asked to hear about Grandpa's boyhood, but he couldn'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 newspapers. Grandpa

want to complain, but the customers were unhappy.
