market boys

This is what you see when you rest your cursor over the image. Fun, isn't it? It's called the 'alt' facility

The boys at the market were working a stall.
They seemed quite young to be left in charge of a stall but I suppose that's all relevant to what you consider young these days. I'm sure (now I come to think about it) boys must have been even younger in olden days.
Is that a tautology or a paradox?
