"But | think snacks are important, though." He played with his fingers and did not talk back but said it in a
serious way. | smiled. This was probably the joy that a little kid could have.
Snacks were already the most important thing in his life. If he was not happy, a bag of snacks could easily solve

When we arrived at the wet market, | parked the car and took Munchkin inside.
To see how the customs and culture of a city were, one could go to a wet market to do so.
Although Zenon was not very developed, the wet market was very lively. Once you went past the entrance, all
kinds of
ingredients could be seen with your eyes.
There were so many vegetables and fruits that | had never seen before. Even sfruits that | already knew
well had different appearances now.
"Mommy, Mommy, cand take a look. The mangoes here are actually bigger than my head!" Munchkin said

He amused not onlybut also the stall owner.
"This kid is too cute." | laughed and walked over to pull Munchkin up.
"These are the southern mangoes from an area near the tropics, so these tropical fruits are particularly large."
The boss took the initiative and introduced them to me.
| looked at the color and felt that they were of good quality. The stall also had cut-up ones on display, and |
gulped quietly at the yellow flesh. "Please weigh two for me."
"Okay, you can go ahead and pick them. If you want to eat them soon, pick softer ones. If you plan to leave them
for a while, pick harder ones. That way, they'll last longer, but not for more than a few days." the boss advised
me.
| gently prodded the mangoes with my hand, picked two, paid for them, then left the stall.
| had agreed to buy beef and pork, but in the process of looking for these two types of meat, we seemed to have
been overwhelmed by temptation and becdistracted.
The beef and pork had not yet been bought, yet our hands were already carrying a bunch of fruit.
When we finished buying the beef and pork, | turned around to check again. We already had piles of bags.
"No, no, we have to go home."
Thinking about the large pile of ingredients that were sent over by Keith early this morning which were not
properly put away and how | was carrying another pile of fruits and vegetables, | realized it would be even harder
to finish them up.
| began to feel a little frustrated.
When | bent down to carry the bags, a small figure scurried toward me. "Mommy, letdo it. You can't carry
them now."
Saying that, the little hand went through several of the plastic bag handles, trying to carry them.
| bought a small number of fruits, but there were a lot of varieties, which totaled up to seven or eight pounds.
Munchkin was still small, so he could not carry much.
"No, I'll do it. You can helpcarry them upstairs later when we get home."
| persuaded him and wanted to reach out, but the little one did not allow for it."
There's an elevator at home, but not here."

"Letlend you this." Suddenly, a female stall owner pulled out a cart and put it in front ofand
Munchkin. "I've never seen such an understanding child. I'll lend this cart to you, then. You can return it to me
later on when you're done.

Before | could say anything, Munchkin scurried forward. "Thank you, beautiful lady."
We laughed when we heard that. | did not think this little guy would be so good at conversation.
Munchkin put all the things in the cart and tried to pull it forward by himself.
Obviously, he could not get the cart
to move, but he would not lettouch it. | could only pretend not to help while helping him push from behind.
In the wet market, Munchkin pulled along the cart with his tiny body while | followed behind.
