8. From childhood the women carry jars of water or baskets of earth in
this way. They hold themselves very upright and walk like queens.

9. Bombay is a very busy city. The streets are thronged with carriages,
motor cars, bullock carts, and electric trams. As the people walk in the
middle of the road, it is not easy for a carriage to make its way
through the streets.

10. The drivers ring bells, or shout to warn the people: "Hi, you woman
with the baby on your hip, get out of the way!--Hi, you man with the box
on your head, get out of the way!"

11. I think you would like to see the bullock carts. They are very
small, and are drawn by two bullocks with humps on their shoulders. The
driver sits on the shaft and steers them with a stick. These carts carry
cotton to the mills or to the docks.

12. In some of the carriages and motor cars you may see rich men wearing
fine silk robes. Many of these rich men now dress as we do, except that
they wear turbans instead of hats.
