Question

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.

The thing that Bob didn’t like about Grandpa was his never-ending stories about his boyhood（童年）in California. Bob was never asked to hear about Grandpa’s boyhood, but he couldn’t get away.
