Dear Uncle,

Thanks for your letter with a nice gift. Today I cannot but give you a description of visiting a local market recently. I did not have any previous experience of going to market alone and doing shopping over there. This was really a new experience for me.

Yesterday mother told me to get her some eggs and other groceries form the local market. I obeyed gladly. Picking up a bag and some money, I cycled down to the nearest market. It was modest in size but catered to the daily needs of the people living close by. As usual there was a lot of activity going on in the shops, and the hawkers seemed to be doing good business too. I bought some chili powder and a tin of cooking oil from the grocery store. Then I went to the dairy shop and bought a packet of milk and a dozen of eggs. Putting them carefully in my bag I came out to find that a man had settled down on the ground with his wares displayed on a sheet. He begged me earnestly to buy something from his colourful assortment of handkerchiefs, ribbons, soap-dishes and packets of safety-pins. I admired his goods but said I would come another day. Picking up my bicycle from the end of the road, I hung my shopping bag over the handle and cycled home. I returned the left-over change to my mother. All I could appreciate in the market except the haggling with the shopkeepers. However, I feel very much interested to go to market from now on. This is all for today. Let me know about your opinion.

Best regards to you and aunt.

Yours affectionately,

Tahseen
