During Durga Puja, a fair was held at Rita's village. It was held on the open football ground. Rita and her friends visited the fair. The whole fair was decorated with colourful lights. There were many stalls selling flowers, clothes, bangles, utensils, toys, fast food, sweets, ice-cream. There was a giant wheel, a small wheel, a merry-go-round and other jhoolas.
