Hello Fiction_L folks! Can you help us track down this patron request?
Any leads would be appreciated.

"I am trying to find a story that was read to my class by our teacher
>when I was in 4th grade... set in the near future after the
environment
>had been destroyed. People no longer ate fresh food and had to wear
>oxygen masks to breathe outside. But the story is more about this one
>family and how they grew their own food (tomatoes) and raised animals
>(pigs) in the basement artificially which apparently was illegal. The
>only other detail of the story I can remember was something to do
with
>the end and a locked box that could only e opened by a quicksilver
key."
>The patron was in 4th grade in 1981.

Thanks ahead of time!
