Ah Hock gets up at about five in the morning. His wife is already is already up getting breakfast ready for their two school – going children. By six the children will be on their way to school by foot. The school is only a mole away so the children can get there with time to spare.

After the children have left Ah Hock pedals his tricycle to the central market. At the market he buys all sorts of fruits and tidbits that he will sell later in the day. He selects the very best fruits for he does not want to get any complaints from his customers. Then he pedals the tricycle home.

A Hawker

Ah Hock is a hawker. He sells drinks, fruits and tidbits under the huge tree next to the General Post Office. So in his house his wife helps him cut up the fruits into little pieces and arranges them neatly in an ice – packed glass cage. Ah Hock prepares the various drinks that he sells. Together they stock up the mobile stall that Ah Hock will later pedal all the one and a half miles to the GPO. The preparation is tedious but they get it done with practiced ease.

Nine o’ clock comes and Ah Hock is on his way to the GPO. He pedals slowly for he does not want to spill any drinks or lose any of the fruits and tidbits. It is so easy to swerve suddenly and a lot of the apples will go flying out of the stall. So pedaling carefully he finally arrives at his destination.
