A car pulled up in front of Sara's Confectionery Store where I was working. Out stepped Mary (Doherty Madigan) Roberts, who was holding a soggy-looking container of ice cream, the half-gallon size. She was smiling as she tipped the carton open on the lawn in front of the store. Out poured a stream of brown melted ice cream. It looked like root beer. "I just want you to show this to Sara," she said. "The carton didn't keep it from melting on the way home." She handed me the now empty and dripping carton.
I didn't know what to do, and I wasn't sure if I had the authority to make a decision, but I figured Sara would not want to deal with the dripping carton. So I threw it away and filled a new carton with ice cream. I even added sprinkles. Mary Roberts, always good-natured, seemed pleased.
