The air smells good. It smells like spices. Fatima looks around. She is happy. Polly is happy too. A boy is there. He smiles and says, "Come with me." They follow the boy. They see many people. They see many shops. They go to a tent. An old woman is there. She has many books. She says, "Welcome, friends." Fatima gives her a map. The woman looks at it. She says, "This map is special." Polly tells Fatima this. Fatima listens to Polly. Fatima asks for more. The woman smiles and says, "Later." Polly and Fatima leave. They feel excited and happy. They like the market. They like the stories.
