Market Place

316 Words
Many buyers were walking around, and a long line could be seen in the market, where people were almost shouting at each other over the deafening noise of the vendors. "Let's just go inside next to the tomato vendor," said the Rabbit to the Fox. "No, friend, let's not go there. It's better if we stay outside. There are many vendors there selling the exact same things we are," replied the Fox. "Isn't it better inside because it's easier for shoppers to see and notice us?" argued the Rabbit, objecting to the Fox's suggestion. "Trust me, our goods will sell out quickly if we sell them out here," persuaded the Fox. The Rabbit did not fully trust the Fox yet, but out of a strong desire to sell out their goods quickly, he conceded and left the decision to the Fox. "If that's for the best—I know you have plenty of experience in business—then let's go and set up our goods," agreed the Rabbit. They prepared and laid out their items for sale. "I can watch over things here now. You may go, Fox," the Rabbit said. "But your goods haven't been reduced yet, friend. Let me help you, it will only take a moment," said the Fox. The Fox left briefly and returned shortly after with a crowd of buyers eager to purchase the Rabbit's goods. "Friend Rabbit, brace yourself, because wrapping up all these items is going to wear you out!" the Fox boasted. Wrapping items here and there, taking payments here and giving change there—their inventory was completely sold out before noon. "Here is what you bought," said the Rabbit, handing the items over to a customer. "Finally, everything is gone!" exclaimed the Fox. They packed up their things and headed home. The Rabbit could not deny that his trust in the Fox was beginning to return.
