Being a hawker, gardener, or watchman looks fun, but each job has tough parts. A hawker walks all day, carrying heavy bangles, and might not sell enough to earn money. A gardener works in the hot sun or rain, which can make them tired or sick. A watchman stays awake all night, feeling lonely in the dark, and it’s hard to sleep at night. These jobs need hard work and patience.
