All in a Day’s Work
Bill Fuller, the mailman, whistled cheerfully as he walked up the hill towards Mrs. Carter’s
house. His work for the day was almost finished; his bag, usually quite heavy when he started out
on his rounds, was empty now except for the letter that he had to deliver to Mrs. Carter. She lived
quite a few blocks away, so when Bill had mail for her, he always finished his day’s work much
later. He did not mind this, though, because she never failed to ask him in for coffee and a piece
of her special spice cake.
When Bill got to Mrs. Carter’s house, he was surprised not to find her working in the yard.
She usually spent her afternoons there when the weather was good. Bill went around to the back
of the house, thinking that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains
were drawn. Puzzled, he returned to the front of the house and knocked loudly on the front door.
There was no answer. Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs. Carter
rarely left the house.
Just then he noticed that her bottle of milk, which is always delivered early in the morning,
was still on the porch. This worried him. If Mrs. Carter had not taken in her milk, maybe she
was sick. Bill walked around the house until he found an open window. It was a small window,
but he managed to squeeze through. He went into the hall.
There he almost stumbled over Mrs. Carter, who was lying unconscious at the foot of the
stairs. Realizing that he needed to get help, and knowing that there was no telephone there, he
rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to go to the nearest telephone
and call an ambulance.
