She went to the fish section of the market and looked at the fish that the sellers were offering. Fish at such early morning time were still fresh. She was checking a carp when she noticed a boy standing next to her checking the fish as well. The boy was so dirty with shirts and shorts almost torn apart and was wearing no shoes or slippers.
