A Street Hawker
A man who sells various things by moving from street to street is called a street hawker. He is a self-employed person. He is the familiar figure in the cities and towns.
a street hawker raises a strange outcry to draw the attention of his customers. He wears a peculiar dress of different colours. He tries to attract the attention of the customers by using different tricks. He carries his goods either in bundles or in a basket. Sometimes he walks about with his goods on a wheeled platform. His customers are usually children and women. As they are credulous, they agree to pay whatever price he demands. So, he does not like elderly men. He usually sells toys. Cosmetics, ready-made garments, daily necessaries, utensils and balloons of various colors and shapes. Children gather around him and women hail him.
He is a clever man. He goes out his moving shop when the elderly people are out on duty or business. He demands higher price for his things but he sells his things at a cheaper rate. However he is an expected person for some people. Although he works hard, his life is miserable. All most all the time he leads a subhuman life.
