fair. Tradesmen from far and wide had come to the fair to sell their goods. Bhaiya who
worked for us at home also went with us. There was a great crowd at the fair. Uncle was
leading us through the crowd. A few of uncle’s friends happen to meet him at the fair. He
joined them and I was left with Bhaiya. Before leaving us, uncle warned me not to buy
anything till he came back. He also warned me not to go too far out. I promised that I would
wait for him.

did not buy anything. I waited for my Uncle to come back. When he came back, he bought me
many things from the fair.
