My Visit to A Local Market

During the last summer vacation, I went to my village. There I visited the local village market. I visited it to buy some daily necessities. My father accompanied me. We went there in the morning. It was held in an open place on the bank of a river. There were various kinds of shops in the market. The villagers get rice, dal, oil, vegetables, fish, meat and all other essentials from the market. Farmers from near and far came there with their products to sell. We bought some vegetables and fruits from there. We had a good bargain there while buying goods. The close dealing in the market was quite interesting. The market was actually a common meeting place of the villagers. I found them exchanging greetings with their friends and relatives. They also exchanged important news to one another. It was actually the main center of economic activity of the village. The small traders of the village carried on their thriving business there. It was really a nice place to visit. To a town dweller like me, it was a new and rare experience. I really enjoyed it.
