    (continued from previous page)
    Long ago they used to sell clothes but they do not now. There are fairs four times in the year. When they are making the bargin they keep arguing until the seller spits on his hand and claps it on the buyers. If the buyer does not agree to the price the seller wishes more claping of hands takes place. They usually finish up by splitting the money.
