Doni taught to himself I have to sell this meat, “fresh meat just killed today I would give a good deal one Ishpens only for a whole pot of fresh meat”. The market was crowed with people, moving back and forth. There was noise from different sections of the market, from both buyers and sellers. The groundwas wet due to drops of rain, plus the clouds were getting dark. An old man quickly rushed up to Doni and, said ''I’ll have two rabbits for one Ishpens''.
