Alam: Oh dear! Thank you so much for stopping by and asking me all this. I

have been stranded here for an hour, but nobody bothered to ask me.

So many of them buy vegetables from me every day but no one helped
me. All of them behaved like strangers as if they didn’t know me at all.

Penny: (with a concerned look) Uncle Alam, please don’t feel bad. My papa and

I will help you. Right, papa?

Father: Yes, why not. Alam, tell me how can I help you.

Alam: (with a sad expression) My cart wheel got stuck in the mud. It has broken

and all the vegetables have fallen. I am trying to gather them and take
them to the market; I have no money with me. I get money only by

selling those vegetables, but today I wonder if it would be possible to
do so.

Penny: (with a pleading expression) Please papa, let’s help Uncle Alam. Can we

drive him to the market along with his vegetables? This way he will be

able to sell them and earn some money for himself.

Father: I don’t know whether we can do it. The market is in the opposite
direction to your grandmother’s house, where we are headed. If we go

there, we will get late as your grandmother is already waiting for us.
