THE STALL

It’s 3am. Market Day. Vendors sleeping in the street begin to wake. One man called Biliard is sleeping on the sidewalk. At the fair there are many things to occupy people’s attention. They come to buy. To sell. To meet friends. There is loud music. And Giliard continues sleeping. At 11:00am Giliard wakes up. His stall has vanished. He asks everyone. Nobody has seen anything. He realizes that he has just lost his stall, but not the items in it. So, he takes his things. Puts them on a cart and this is the day Giliard sells everything.

GOSSIP

Late afternoon.  Groups of five or six gather on sidewalks to gossip. The neighborhood has a neighbor that cause trouble. She's cause trouble. It already fought with the neighbor of the front, attacking for  words. Since this day they do not talk one with the other. Gossip is always the main subject of these people. There is a lot of gossip since the privacy of its families of subjects as infidelity of couples. I think that these people could do something more important with their lives of what living gossiping. It is so good help to fellow creatures, living in harmony always.

NOISY

My neighborhood is very noisy, because of people with intellect problems and alcoholics. They cause many disturbs, but sometimes they are funnys. There is a boy that live with her mother, she is divorce and she has a love affair with a married man. All the neighbors know of love affair, inclusively her son. He has problems intellect and all night is very noisy, because the boy shout in middle of street that the mother is girlfriend of married man. The situation is funny, because the married man live near, then is funny to see the labor for that the wife not suspect.
