The narrator saw that the station was very crowded with passengers and people who came to purchase tickets. He found a train coming and stopping at the platform. Passengers were desperately trying to get off and on the train. Some were waiting for coolies. He also found a vendor selling peanuts and chocolates. Then he found a small boy asking his mother to buy him comic books. He also saw a mother walking up and down the platform to pacify her crying baby and a man reading newspaper.
