A Roadside Stand

Question

Wired Faculty App

Have you ever stopped at a roadside stand? What have you observed there?

Solution

Yes, last Saturday I drove down to go to Dehradun. It was a very long journey of about six hours from Delhi. On the way, we took a halt at the roadside stand made by the villagers.

To our surprise the poor villagers became very glad. We saw some rare varieties of fruits put for sale in wooden containers. The quality of all the things was very good.

Of course, I asked the price of each item.

One or two were really priced higher than that in cities. So I had to bargain, and that was the villager wanted to induce me for a bulk purchase. I bought many varieties of different fruits. We ate and relished the natural taste in each. We brought a lot for the home We were happy to note the pleasure that glowed on their faces at our stopping near them. They were gentle, sympathetic, curious to help and even obliged us by their country scale, we can’t explain. It is now a beautifu landscape for us now.
