  1. Travellers

    Share Share Post
    Travellers go round begging until the present day. They go into the houses and they ask flour, tea, sugar, and a lot of things.
    If they do not get everything they ask they curse you. They have a carriage which they sleep in at night. They are called caravans. These travellers buy a lot of old asses.
