Cities have a large number of vendors who move around selling various commodities. Due to the lack of dedicated space to sell, many vendors prefer to move around using hand carts and other accessories. Design a system or set of accessories to be used along with the existing bicycles, which the vendor can use to move around and sell toys for kids.
The vendor should be able to display and sell the products when stationary/parked; as well as pack up and move. Consider ease of assembly, material \& manufacturing processes, ease of use, user-friendly display, and ease of opening and packing up.
Instructions:

Present rough sketches of design alternatives.

The Story of Dhanna Bhagat
Once there was a young farmer in Rajasthan named Dhanna Singh. He was tall and quite ordinary looking. He had a winsome disposition that made him quite popular with the people in his community. He would always have time to listen to their problems and help them when they came to him in times of need. He was of a charitable nature but his father thought he was a good for nothing. Why, because Dhanna was too generous and any money his father gave him to invest in the fields he would give away to the poor and needy.
One day, his father sent him to a nearby town that held a weekly market. There Dhanna was to sell the produce from the farm and with the money earned he was to bring home seeds for the new crop. Dhanna piled up the cart with the rich produce and set off for the town. He was very excited to go to the town as he had some good friends there. On the way he was stopped by four priests who wanted a ride to town. He asked them to get on to the cart and they entertained him with songs and stories. When they reached the outskirts of the town they asked him to make some donations. Dhanna had no money. So he gifted them half the produce. He continued with his journey and before he could reach the market he came across an old lady who was sitting on the side of the street and crying. She had been thrown out of her house by her cruel son. Dhanna gave her the rest of the produce and she gave him a few seeds in return.
Dhanna went home and when his father asked him what he did with the seeds, he said he had already planted them in the field. His father was pleased, but not for long. After a few weeks when he went to the field to inspect his father found large wild gourds that only the goats liked to eat. He called Dhanna to the field and pointing at them asked him what he had sown? Dhanna picked up the gourd to show him and in anger his father dashed it to the ground. As it burst open the ground it was filled with diamonds and emeralds. His father was shocked and elated. He realised that Dhanna was no ordinary child and named him Dhanna Bhagat. From that day on Dhanna was never scolded for being generous.
