    Gypsy girl crossing the creek in Negreni at the annual flea-market in October. Many gypsy families come to the market from afar, some of them still come by horses and carts.

When I saw them approaching, one of the men from the pub started frantically running towards the animals, so I grabbed my camera, expecting something to happen. One of the bulls got frightened and slipped on the wet road, creating this funny scene, naming the guy as the Elder secler (szekely) man in traditional clothes making business using his wits and charming personality.To give an example for his sharp sense of humour.
