TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLING
Tibetans viii Not Be Denied the Joys
That Accrue From the Sense
of Bargaining.

"Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls
out one of the peddlers by the way
side in Tibet cheerfully as he sees
you returning from a glimpse of the
SHOWS at sunrise. You bid him come
to you, and from one of the innumer-
able pockets concealed in his volu-
minous robe he will produce a perfect
little Jade cup. or a Tibetan coffee
pot or gold copper and precious
stones, or perhaps a huge lump Of
rough turquoise hewn to look like a
couch with tiny gold Buddha reclin.
ing on it.
Then comes the bargaining, in which
he and all his friends take part against
your single self
1t can all be done by signs and
smiles and patience and in the long
run you will get some things well
worth having at a very reasonable
price.
But you must have no false pride
about bargaining. II is an elementary
part of these peoples nature, and the
joy of selling will leave them forever
when the day of haggling is done.
