CHILDREN'S PASTIME

CHILDREN USED TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE MILKMAN'S COMING.
AFTER HE WOULD DELIVER MILK, THE CHILDREN USED TO
SCOOP THE CREAM OFF THE TOP OF THE MILK, PUT IT ON
A SLICE OF BREAD AND HAVE THIS TREAT BEFORE BEDTIME.
THE CHILDREN LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS ACTIVITY SO MUCH
BECAUSE THE CREAM ON BREAD TREAT WAS MORE ENJOYABLE
THAN A BAR OF CANDY.
