“I want to join the maths coaching class during holidays. But, I have no money” said Alvin.
“Why don’t you work part-time in the library?” asked Harry
“Oh, I have asked them. No vacancy. “
“Are you strong in any subject? You can tutor the school students.”
“No, I am not.” sulked Alvin. “I have also asked around the campus. They don’t have a vacancy.”
The following day, Alvin saw a strange old bike in front of his house. Harry was chatting with his sister.
“Hi, Harry. What is this?”
“Listen, Alvin. Many houses in the neighbourhood still have milk delivered to them. So, why don’t you become a milkman? You get to ride this different bike and also earn money. What do you say?”
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting Friday Fictioneers and Sandra for the photo.
Sounds ideal….maybe!
Well, there is no job in the campus and the library and he doesn’t know anything about baby-sitting. So he might take it up, I guess:)
Oh, Padmini; I think his heart is set on those classes…! 😉
Will he take Harry’s advice..? I wonder what he said…!?!
lol. yes. I think he would protest at first and take it up finally:) Thank you, Carolyn:)
Good idea and share… wonderful
Thank you kindly
I am sure Alvin would be the talk of the town on his ‘milk-bike’ too! 🙂
lol. We don’t know where Harry got this bike:) well, as long as he earns money for his maths classes..
Yes education a must! 🙂
What imagination you showed this week! When I was very young, we still had milk delivered to the house in glass bottles; at least I think I remember that. 🙂 Our milkman didn’t ride a bike like this, though!!

In some places, the milk is still being delivered by milkmen. Yes, agree about the bike:) Thank you so much for reading
In the old days in Singapore (1960s), the Indian milkman used to deliver fresh milk on his bicycle – usually in the evenings. What a treat for us kids. Pricked some memories.
Looks like Alvin will be delivering some fast but cool milk 🙂
I think they are still delivering milk in bicycles (in some places in Chennai, India). Yes, cool milk it is:) Thank you kindly for reading and commenting
that bike! well it will take lots of nerve to ride that!
Well, yes…but it is different and cool:) Thank you, Sharmishtha
A plausible story for using the bike. Lots of imagination in your tale.
Glad you visited and thank you so much
Interesting and different take on the prompt. ALVIN!
Thank you, Perry
Dear Nightlake,
What a unique take on the prompt. I like
shalom,
Rochelle
Hi Rochelle, Happy you liked it. Thanks very much
Great angle, cool dialogue.
Loved it.
Hi Elephant, Thank you. Appreciate your dropping by
It is a good idea to ride bike and deliver milk 😉
I wonder will the company sponsor to let newbie to learn to get the bike licence before delivering milk? 😉
Oh, we have to wait and watch, I guess:) Thanks for reading, Yoshiko
Welcome. Okay, we just wait and watch 😉
Nicely done. Good message too!
Thank you, Sandra:)

Thank you. The picture is from the Friday Fictioneers challenge. Thanks for stopping
Hi Padmini that was a unique take on the prompt and a great little story. 🙂
Hi, Thank you once again for reading:)
A groovy thought of the milkman riding around the neighborhoods on this bike!
Yes, this would be different:) Thank you:)
I do believe he may just take the offer out of desperation or as a sign of resignation and acceptance of defeat when it comes to looking for a job 🙂 nice one.
That’s possible. at least, this is a unique bike for milkmen:) Thanks for the read and the comment
I hope he gets to take his class. You have me routing for Alvin. Good job.
Thank you, Kim:)
hmmn i like the idea of milk delivered to my hone in that cool bike ^^
home* lol
yes, got it. That’s okay..
Yes, it is really cool and different. Thank you, kz:)
Good story I enjoyed readibf.
We still have milk delivered to the door, but our milkman drives a small electric pickup – quiet deliveries!
Dee
Hi, Thank you so much:) Electric pickup..How does that work?
Ooops should be reading.. but then you knew that 🙂
Yes, I got it:) Thank you!
Considering a lot of guys would pay to get to ride that thing around, it sounds like a perfect job. I’d probably do it now, if I had the chance. 🙂
that’s wonderful:) but a few parts probably need to be repaired..Thank you for stopping here
