Stuff What I Think

Please, sir, you buy? One dollar?

A friend from my recent trip sent me a few of his photos. And there a few gems of things that I missed. Like this one. A little girl selling bracelets out near Ta Prom. It started off at 3 for a dollar, and I heard it get up to ten for one stoney faced tourist.

Normally the urchins are more a nuisance than anything and you get pretty blase about brushing them aside. But this girl, well, I don't think I've used the phrase 'cute as a button' before, but that about covers it. Add in a dirt covered tshirt, and a wavering voice -how could you not give her a dollar?

And boy was she glad to get it. I think she made 3 bucks out of my group, got this excited grin on her face, and bolted.
