Waking Up In The Morning With Blocked Up Nose

12:09:09 MR.GREG 'A SELLER OF BANANAS

Episode: walking along the express way near his home in Kampala (main road, paved and busy), we stopped to buy bananas from a child along the sidewalk. The child (who will have 'had about 9 or 10 years and I think he lived very little of her own childhood) was sitting on a mat with a basket full of bananas in front of you'. I stop, with Gregory by the hand, I bent down to ask the price, and then Greg comini bananas and yelling "Nana, Nana"! to avoid making the figure of the mother who cares for her son to peel a banana and just bought him do a piece, not just pick up the nice comfortable sitting next to the little girl to enjoy his banana and caress the hands of the child. Women who were selling next mantis shrimp or roasted peanuts have made very comical to see this "little things" white sitting in the middle of the sidewalk to "sell" bananas smiling but the beauty is that when I told him it was time to go, we could not stay there all night he got me pretty good "bye bye" and was placed next to his new best friend, ready to send me home alone. Take it away was a company in the laughter of the ladies next door and passers-by who stopped in amazement to observe the scene, for once, in a European the shoes of an African ... the roadside.
It 's true that children have no boundaries .. how wonderful!
