"You thief!" I then suddenly heard someone yell from one of the stalls nearby. "I saw you, you took some apples from my stall. You think I didn't see that! "
I turned round to see the owner of the stall in question roughly holding a young boy by the collar of his shirt. He was literally floating as the man was pulling him up. The boy writhed around as he tried to free himself.
" I didn't steal anything! " He screamed out.
"Really now?" The vendor asked angrily. He then shook the boy around and several apples fell to the floor from the pockets of his clothes.
"Hey, hey we got ourselves a thief here. Help me out fellas." The vendor told some other men working in the stalls nearby. Two of them immediately left their stalls and came to him.
"Do you know what we do to thieves around here?" One of the men that arrived threateningly asked the boy. It didn't take a genious to know they were going to beat him up. A crowd of onlookers began to form curious to see what was going on.
