  1. Travelling folk still call to my home. The people who come now, have been coming to my home for two or three years. They seem to be very poor. Some of them sell small articles, and others beg for money or clothes. I don't know where they get the articles which they sell. Some of them go about in caravans, and others walking, and more in horses and cars. They mostly come on the sports days, and on the horse races day.
