Under the Banyan Tree




There is a tea shop under the branches of the banyan tree.
It is run by a man called Raja.
Bunches of bananas, buns and cakes in plastic bags hang from tile roof of the shop. Biscuits of many kinds are kept in wide-mouthed glass jars.

There stands a shiny copper water boiler in the front, which attracts the attention of everyone. Besides coffee and tea, cold drinks are also sold.

In front of the shop lots of green coconuts are spread on coconut leaves on the ground. Coconut is a perfect drink for the tropical climate. In the hot summer Raja's coconut business is very good. No-one passes the shop without having a coconut drink.
