  2. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    There are very few travelling folk in my district. Very few people stay in the houses at night in my district. No travellers call at my home now. About fourteen years ago travelling folk came to the houses. They were poor and they did not sell any articles to the people. They went around begging and they got their supplies from the people of the district.
    These travellers were welcome to the houses of my district
