Mr. Summers enjoys talking to the locals about box construction, but nobody wants to

break with tradition, which is symbolized by the black box. The ritual was symbolized by the

mysterious black box. In Mr. Summer's opinion, "I wonder why they don't like the notion of

constructing a new box. This one definitely needs to be swapped out because of how dirty and

worn it is. If there's going to be another lottery next year, I need to propose a different box. As I

mentioned before, they always defer to my judgment, so I know they won't have any complaints.

Oh, how I wish my spouse had have reminded me to buy a lotto ticket for today. Kids didn't even

bother to tell me about it. I've arrived so late that now everyone seems to be staring at me.

Someone unfamiliar with the custom would assume I am unaware of its significance." From Mrs.

Hutchinson's Perspective: "The people I love the most in the world are right there, and they have

forgotten about me. In order to inform Mrs. Delacroix of my tardiness, I must first pass through
