First Stanza
"When the gong sounds ten in the morning and I walk to 
school by our lane, Every day I meet the hawker crying, 
'Bangles, crystal bangles!' There is nothing to hurry him on, 
there is no road he must take, no place he must go to, no time 
when he must come home. I wish I were a hawker, spending 
my day in the road, crying, 'Bangles, crystal bangles!'"

Second Stanza
"When at four in the afternoon I come back from the school. I can see 
through the gate of that house the gardener digging the ground. He does 
what he likes with his spade, he soils his clothes with dust, nobody takes 
him to task if he gets baked in the sun or gets wet. I wish I were a gardener 
digging away at the garden with nobody to stop me from digging."
