We then reached home to water and lunch and rest. The old bangle seller continued trudging on towards the next village and the next.
The utter generosity of the poor humbles us. They give rice to every mendicant even when their rice is getting over. That is what they are defined by.

Village Vignettes - Many livlihoods (Bangle selling)
As we were returning from the field to our home in the hot sun, the old bangle seller woman was walking from one village to another carrying her wares. She stopped us and asks us to buy some. We were thirsty and wanting to reach home fast, but her need to sell naturally took priority. I had 20/- and we bought a dozen.
We then reached home to water and lunch and rest. The old bangle seller continued trudging on towards the next village and the next.
