We're sitting at a train stop in the village of Ribaue and the market is alive. It actually arrived with our train and will probably depart with it too. The guy selling the pens did very well, even though none of the blue ones actually worked, not a problem the green and red work fine - for those who actually chose those colours. The kid selling the donut looking things did great too. I think thats why toothbursh kid was a little unhappy when donut boy got cheeky with him. Sales had been great, his whole bucket was empty saving some scraps at the bottom and Donuts was counting his tidy wad of Meticash when toothbrush boy picked up some of the last morsels out of his bucket for a feed. Donuts knew Macleans was having a tough day but still gave him the look and asked the question of payment. When none was offered (well Macleans hadn't made a single sale) Donuts then started perusing Macleans merchandise, finely imported chinese 'Cool Jet' toothburshes offered at 5Mets a piece (20cents). Thats when Macleans snapped, for there was no way he'd give up one of his toothbrushes for the few crumbs he'd just eated. Thankfully Donuts was only joking and it went no further. The market has just disbanded, hopefully our train will do likewise.....
