Description

Upper image: The rice dealer is now bankrupt and moving out. His belongings are all in a cart ready to be carried to another place. The two Gods of poverty - now a permanent part of his household - are also on board.

Lower image; It is the opening day of the couple’s new store. Their wide variety of commodities seem to attract people and many customers are crowding around. A newly hired apprentice is also seen helping them.

The good souls are eagerly helping to bring in new customers.

Any comments are welcome! (S.I)
