Street Hawker

A street hawker is a common sight in the streets of big cities & towns. A hawker sells his goods with interesting cries in order to draw the attention of his customers. He knows the art of convincing. Women & child are usually attracted by his calls. He generally offers toys, fruits, biscuits, vegetables, ice-cream, cakes, laces, cloths, utensils etc. On the contrary, there are other kinds of hawkers who buy newspaper, blank pots, old books, worn out cloths from the houses. However, children are fond of a hawker but men do not like him. By carrying the goods for sale in his hands or over his shoulders, he moves from door to door. Sometimes he goes from one street to another with his moving shop & he often causes problems on the foot-path. A street hawker’s income is not sufficient, so he has to maintain his family through hardship.
