- Travelling people still call to our district. The same people have been doing so for years. Those people are very poor. They sell small articles They make some of these themselves and they buy more in towns, and cities, with the money they beg from the people. Some of those are welcome, others are not. Some remain for a week in the district. They sleep in caravans on the roadsides. They bring their food with them. They ask alms such as a cup of milk, a spoon of tea, or a couple of spoons of sugar or a bit of bread from the people.
