Catching up with the market, visiting the mall (translation)
“Burro！ Please move! Maria pleaded.
Burro was a donkey in the family and didn't want to take Maria and her two big bags to the market. But a whip worked. Burro began to walk on the crowded cobblestone road with a crunchy pace.
Maria and her family live in the Central American country of Guatemala. Maria went to the bazaar at Santiago Atitlan. Burro was carrying a bag of corn and a bag of wheat. Maria wanted to sell corn and wheat in the markets of the town.
When they reached Santiago Atitlan, even Burro's ears stood up. Everyone was talking, laughing, haggling. As the donkey shook into the street, Mary looked at it with concern. Someone is selling fruits and vegetables. Others sell woven baskets, carpets and crafts. Maria loved the sights and the atmosphere of the market.
Almost every country has a market. If you live in the UK, you can go to a green grocery store that specializes in fruits and vegetables, fish and poultry. In the United States, you can go to a big shopping mall. In Mexico, Italy and South Africa, you can go to the souks. You are here to buy or sell, as Mary did.

In this souk in Santiago Atitlan, Indians buy and sell crops and other clothes. ）
