  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Very often travelling folk calls to my house. Some of them are poor others are not. Nearly every one of them sell articles. They have to buy articles to make money. They are not welcome. They stay in the district about one night. Some of the travelling people sleep in sheds others sleep by the road side. Most of them have food with them. Most of them travel in bands. Tinkers are the names of the people that travel in bands. There is a man named Pad the soldier who calls to my house from time to time.
