It is usually found in cities, towns, market places, railway stations, bus stands and near offices, hospitals, mills and factories and even in villages. A tea  stall opens early in the morning and closes very late at night. In some important places like railway stations, steamer terminals etc the tea stall remains open round the clock. It is not well furnished. There are some chairs, table and benches. A tea stall needs some materials to get tea ready. There is an oven where a kettle is burning. There is also a pan of milk to prepare tea. Hot tea, biscuits, cakes, bread, bananas, betel leaf, cigarettes etc are sold here. One or two  boys serve the things to the customers. The manager manages everything and collects money. A tea stall is a noisy and busy place. It is a meeting place of different classes of people. People of different classes visit it. They  often discuss politics and  other matters. Sometimes they exchange hot words. However, a tea stall should be kept neat and clean.

The roast looked so delicious that the cook could not resist the temptation and ate up one of the drumsticks.

A Greedy Dog and a Piece of Meat

 Once a dog stole a piece of meat from a butcher's shop. He was very glad to have it and thought of a heavy meal at home. He was greedy. On the way there was a small river. Over the river there was a bridge. The river was full to the brim. While the dog  was passing the bridge he saw his own shadow into the water. But he thought it was another dog. The shadow dog also had a piece of meat that was his own meat. But the dog was unable to understand the matter. To have that  piece of meat the dog barked and jumped  into the river. As he opened his mouth his own meat dropped into the water. He tried his best to have his own but in vain. The dog was foolish. So, he lost not only his meat but also his life. The teaching of the story is 'grasp all lost all'.
