A Market Scene
Afternoon is a very busy time in the market which is only a couple of blocks away from my house. The whole place was full of people when I last visited it a week ago. I arrived at about four o'clock in the afternoon and found big crowds of people jostling with each other in front of the stalls.
Everywhere people were buying, selling, and bargaining. Some looked very pleased with themselves, having made a good bargain. I could hear all kinds of noises in the market. Hawkers shouted to attract would-be customers while patient vegetable vendors stood bargaining and haggling prices with customers. The meat stall was doing a roaring business. The fat man in charge just kept on cutting out pieces of meat to the amounts the customers asked for.
Eventually I arrived at a clearing where there was an old man playing the violin. Beside the man was a little monkey with a red cap. The monkey was going through various antics on a stand. It was a big attraction for children.
I came away from the market fully satisfied with my own purchases. The market is really an interesting place.
