Paragraph On A Street Hawker
A street hawker deals in various things
by hawking from street to street. He carries his materials on his head sometimes in his hand and sometimes in a small handicraft. He generally buys his
goods at a cheaper rate and sells them at a good profit. A street hawker is
very cunning. He knows his business very well. His customers are children and
women. He brings toys, sweets, and other things for children and sells them at a
fixed price at a good rate. He also brings bangles, ribbons, clothing,
fruits, utensils, fancy goods, and things of domestic use for women. He speaks
in different ways to draw the attention of his customers. A hawker also knows
the time/hour of his business. He does not come when the housemasters are at
home. Rather he comes when the housemasters are out of home and when the women
are free from their household work and duties.

A hawker is a common sight
on the streets of the city or a town or in a compartment of a train. He carries
things sometimes on his head, in his hands, sometimes in a bag, and
sometimes in a small hand cart. He sells various kinds of things including
sweets, drinks, books, pens, medicines, and whatnot. He uses various tricks to
attract the attention of the buyers. Sometimes he starts singing or even acting. Sometimes he is funny and sometimes irritating. He sells things at a
cheaper rate than that of the permanent shopkeepers. It is possible as he has
not paid any rent for a shop or salary to the salesman. He is as if a moving
shop and a salesman combined. But it is a pity that he has to do such hard
labour to live from hand to mouth.
