  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Several "travelling people" travel around yet, but they are not so familiar as they were long ago. These people sell several things such as laces, needles, polish, studs, combs, etc. All the people of the country buy from them. The people keep them for the night, and when morning comes they go to some other houses. Some of these "travelling people have food with them but others don't. The most of these people travel on foot, but some of them have donkeys, and ponies. It is mostly for the fair days these people come.
