Market Serenade

Djenabou and I went to the market this morning.  A very spirited fish seller made me grin.  She stood dancing and singing a song.  Djenabou asked me if I knew what she sang.  Of course not; her song was in Pular:  “White lady come buy fish.  No chicken, no beef.  Buy my fish, fish for the white man!”  While I did not buy her fish, my presence gave her a song to sing and everyone else something to smile about.
