  2. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    A great many travelling folk used to come to this district in former times. Some travelling folk come to this district still. They sell laces, matches and clothes. Some of the people welcome the travelling folk. They invite them in and the woman of the house gives them entertainment. The travelling folk go to another house then and they sleep there during the night. Most of the travellers travel in families. Power is the name of the family that comes to my district.
