A white truck covered with a green tarpaulin stopped, on Bank Street far south of the 6 Alhaji Yousef market.

Before the owner of the unidentified shipment determined the value of the single bag, a woman wearing a cloak and a patch on her face, whispered to the man in his permission, quickly returned and covered the carriage with green radiator and said in public: "Milk is a follower."

"Mariam" is a miserable tea saleswoman, who moved from Burri to East Nile, and just as she changed her place of residence, she changed the identity of her work, and converted to vendor of household utensils. She wakes up early in the morning, waiting at the entrance to the market for pickup trucks with trays, saucepans, analyzes, saucers, scissors, and other light household items. She buys it for a small price, then offers it to women and her neighbours for a double price, she is not alone in this area, there are many who work in such a light and welcoming trade, "Mariam" finds fierce competition, but her huge body always helps her and facilitates her task in times of distress.
