    Travelling Folk.
    The travelling people come to our district now and then.
    They go in to every house and look for food and for coppers. They camp outside the town. Some travellers sing songs and play music. Travellers go to fairs and sell asses and horses. Some travel on foot and more travel in vans. Some travellers are tin smiths and more make little tables and mats. The Mac Cartyes and Delaneys are the Travellers that are seen in my district.
