A ride on horse cart from railway station in summer

As I get got down from the train, I could see lot of horse-cart owners lined up to take passengers to the center of the town. It was hot. And I could smell the typical horse-dung all over. I liked the smell. Horse-dung is not awful like ours. Several horse cart owners surrounded me. I was to choose the one with the lowest price. The bargain with horse-carters is always lively. And amuses me. I would give only Rupees 5 and he would ask Rupees 8 And we would take five minutes to settle this down to Rupees 6 finally. I climb up the cart on the back. There is horse's grass underneath the seat. The seat's are torn, and the bamboo shoots coming out. But its comfortable.
