  1. Travelling people still visit our home. Some of them are poor and others rich. They sell small articles and people buy them. The people have a welcome for them. Sometimes they stay for a night. They sleep in a lodge, and they have food with them. People buy things from them and sometimes they give them something to eat. Some of them travel on bicycles. Sometimes a lot of them goes around. Some of them tell stories and bring news from other parts of the country. All the people listen to them.
