The fishermen came twice. The first time there were two of them, each holding one end of a cloth wrapped around a bundle of fish and crabs.  They laid it out on the ground for the housewife to inspect.  Ten minutes later another one came.  He balanced a large metal pot on his head.  Smiling, he waited for the housewife to come out of her house.  He took the pot down to show her the day’s catch.  They exchanged greetings and she picked a few fish for dinner.  The pot was lifted back on his head and he happily walked off to his next stop.  A short while later a man rode up on a bicycle.  A large milk container was strapped to the rack in the back.  He too waited for the housewife to come out.  Then he filled a jug with some fresh milk which she then transferred to her own container.  Leg up and over the bike, and he rode down the driveway to follow the fishermen to his next stop.
