We have two vegetable (sayur) ladies who come down our street almost every day. One (who is pictured below) says, "Sah-YUUUUUUUUUUUUR!" and the other one hollers, "Woooooooo" in a sort of falsetto voice. I guess that way you know which lady is coming, if you have a preference. You can buy vegetables, fruit, fish, chicken and clams (A Clammy Story) and, well, it just depends on the day. On this day, we bought some bangkwang (did I spell that right?), a white root that is sweet and can be eaten raw like carrots and cucumbers.
The other morning we heard the Es Puter man ringing his bell and Joel prayed for him.
"God, please bless the Es Puter man with lots of customers so that he will make a lot of money today." After he prayed, he explained, "I like to pray that God will bless the street vendors."
"Oh, did you pray for God to bless the sayur lady the other day?" asked Seth, "I saw her with lots of customers, that must have been why."
