19. Baked Sweet Potato Vendor

This young man sells baked sweet potatoes. On his handcart he has a clay stove heated by charcoal. He keeps an ample supply of sweet potatoes on hand and has some baking and some already baked. The price is very low, about 10-20 cents American. They are very hot and tasty. They are especially good on a freezing day. Hold one in your hand to keep warm while pealing and nibbling on it. We often eat one after Church. He always has a smile for us.
