                 It was a beautiful Sunday morning.  My mother and I went to the market.  We took a bus there as there was no market near our house.  As soon as we alighted from the bus, we could hear the hustle and bustle of the market.  

               When we approached the market, the first voice we heard were the shouts of a fishmonger.  He was trying to attract people to buy his different varieties of fish.  There were red snappers, groupers, crabs, mackerels, mussels and prawns.  My mother chose some red snappers and bargained with the fishmonger.  After much persuasion, the fishmonger finally gave in to my mother and was willing to sell the prawns to her at a discount.  He cut the fish into smaller parts before wrapping and handing it to her.  Next, we went to the vegetable section of the market.  My mother bought a variety of vegetables like spinach, carrots, cabbages and cucumbers. Finally, we went to the fruit stall to buy some apples.  After making payments at the fruit stall, we decided to take a taxi home. 

                We waited patiently at the taxi stand.  After a long wait, we got into the taxi and went home.  When we reached home, my mother who was feeling tired and hot immediately sat on the sofa and asked me to get her a glass of cold water.  What an unforgettable experience I had to accompany my mother to the market!
