NCERT Book Class 4 EVS Chapter 15 From Market to Home

Day at night!
My name is Vaishali. My father is a
vegetable-seller. My whole family –
Amma, Bhaiya, Chhotu and I, help
him with his work. Can you guess at
what time we begin our work? At
3 o’clock in the morning. When most
people are fast asleep, we start our
work. Our day’s work begins when
Babuji, Amma, Bhaiya and I take out
the previous day’s vegetables from
the gunny bags and baskets. This is
to prepare for bringing the fresh
vegetables from the mandi.
Sometimes Chhotu also helps us.
As we finish doing this and are
having some tea, we hear the horn of
the tempo. It is time for Babuji , Bhaiya,
Chachu (uncle) and some others from
our street to leave for the mandi.
