Balloon seller ..Selling air in the balloons

Nothing comes free in this world but air is free for all of us. This poor man fills cost- free air to balloons and earns his livelihood. So air, which we usually do not see physically, has become a potential resource for him at least. This 'feel only thing' becomes visible when it is injected to some balloon or Tyre tube.

By the way, sunlight and rain also cost nothing and abundantly available without differentiation of poor and rich.

Balloons have special attraction, (due to their shape and colours, I think,) for children and the seller invites children by blowing his 'trumpet' signaling "I am here for you". The children understand this language very well and put a forceful order to elders for the balloons.

And they hit the balloons high in the air with their tiny hands and smiles on our faces spread like waves in the air.
