A Market Scene
market scene
Yesterday my mother asked me to bring some vegetables from the market. I took my bicycle and went to the vegetable market. This market is about 200 metres from our house. There are a large number of shops in this market. Shops on one side deal in fresh vegetables. Shops on the other side deal in fruits. All the shops were crowded with men and women. The shopkeepers were crying in their hoarse voices to attract customers. Some ladies were haggling with the vegetables sellers. An old lady was quarrelling with a shopkeeper for giving ‘short measure. There was noise on all sides. It is a narrow market and so there was a good dtal of jostling. | went from shop to shop and compared the rates, | bought potatoes, peay and lady-fingers. I also bought some fruit. I loaded these things on my bicycle and came back home. My mother praised me for having made a good purchase
