Alibhai - A Traveller 

          

           Alibhai was a traveller who covered long distances on foot in the Himalayan Mountains. He loved to observe nature. He went from village to village, selling dried apricots, herbs and medicines and precious stones he had collected during his traveling. He was a tall man with broad shoulders, red cheeks and nose and wheatish complexion. He was dressed in a warm, thick long woolen coat, tight trousers, big leather-boots and brown fur cap. He visited Ram Singh's family. He told them that he had gone up the high mountains, up to the borders of India and Tibet. The family members insisted to stay with them for more time and tell them his hill stories. He agreed to stay for two days. In the night he told them his interesting travel experiences till late.
