Story
The story begins with the fact that one early morning, in an ordinary American town, a milkman named Spike begins to deliver dairy products to residents, leaving them on the porch. It soon becomes clear that Spike is a maniac who, for almost every second of his clients, puts deadly "nasty things" instead of products. So Mrs. McCarthy ( English Mrs. McCarthy ) he slipped a living tarantula in an empty milk box, to the house of Mr. Webber's family ( English Mr. Webber ) put a bottle with a label from universal cream, filled with a concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid, and another family left a bottle at the door filled with deadly cyanide gas. Having finished the delivery, a satisfied Spike leaves, then a boy runs out of one of the houses to which he put his “surprise”, grabs the bag left on the porch and leaves for the house.
