(2022·广东深圳·校考三模)Peter had sent milk to the families on Prince Edward Street for thirty years. All that knew him loved him.
Every morning at five, Peter arrived at the milk company’s stables(马厩), saying to Josephy, “Good morning! My old friend!” Then, the two started their day proudly. Without any order from Peter, the coach would roll down the street. The horse stopped at the first house.
