“Well, the milk is in the lower right corner.” I replied.

Picking up my things, I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man   ________  almost 10 bottles of milk in his hands. I asked him ________  he needed a trolley or not?

“Sure, thank you.” he answered.

I was ________  he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley was full of milk. There were over twenty bottles of milk ________  it.

I said, “Well, it’s too ________  for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”

He ________  at me and walked a few steps, as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying ________  .

“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa.”

He smiled and said, “Yes, these are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a symbol of surprises and ________  . Santa comes in December as we  ________  him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us, no matter which month it is.
