  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    The beggar men go from house to house looking about food. They do not travel together from one place to another. They go different roads. They live in a little tent on the side of the road. They sell basins and ornaments for fire-boards (mantle pieces), dresses for children. Some of them have ponies and traps. The people long ago used buy things from them. They would give them money for them.
