At the Food Center

The food center is
crowded with customers. The
food stalls are lined up in
a row. A couple is standing
at a noodle stall waiting
for their food. The next
stall sells chicken rice.
Two delicious chickens have
been prepared and are
displayed at the stall. A
stall assistant is on his
way to serve some food. Two
bowls of rice, a bowl of soup and a plate of chicken are placed neatly on
a tray. He is carrying it with care when two girls dash past him. He
struggles to keep the tray steady and avoid spilling the food. Running and
playing in a food center is dangerous. Children may be scalded by hot food.
There is no one manning in the drink stall. The stallholder could be the
man sitting alone at the table on the right. He is nearly bald and he does
not have his shirt on. He sits on a stool and rests his left leg on a
chair. He is enjoying a piping hot drink. From where he sits, he can see
when someone approaches his stall. A young boy stands on a chair. He
laughs and claps his hands in glee when an Indian womans shopping bag
gives way. The apples drop onto the floor. A man helps her to retrieve the
apples.
