  1. Travelling people still visit my house. The same people have been doing so for about seven years. They sell small articles such as studs, brooches, and tiepins. When they come they stay for the night sometimes. They sleep in some out house. Sometimes they have food with them. Some of them are very poor. The most of them travel in bands. They come around during horse-races, and fair-days. When they come they tell stories about other parts of the country.
