详细内容:
在吴哥遗址任一组成部分的入口，总有儿童商贩向游客兜售纪念品，比如明信片，手工制品及标志性纪念片如T-shirt等。这些小孩年龄在8至15岁不等，男女都有。我见过的基本可以划分两类。一是年龄大的，他们多半卖书，红色高棉时期故事书，西方学者的研究作品，及吴哥遗址画册，辅助读物等。他们通常三两联手，使用车轮战术，可以跟上好长一段路，只要你想要的书有，就是问及其他N个人，也会给你找；另外是年龄小的，多半卖明信片和小手工艺品（或自家产品），离自家店铺或摊位比较近。
在吴哥小圈，大圈及Roluos Group之后，专门找一天下午，我回到一处忘了名字的小遗址前，想寻回一个女孩，几天前我答应她要买一个小笛子。
还是那身衣服，烈日下她拿着小竹筒和竹编笛子碎步小跑，不放过任何一个可能成为她顾客的外国游客，但很有礼。她轻柔的问话很容易让我想起那天的情景。
“Ms do you want some souvenir?”
“No thanks.”
“Ms do you want some souvenir? 2 dollar for 1.”
跟随在我身后，她小跑追上来并开始向我展示手里的几样东西。
“Ms this is hand made. 2 dollar for 1.”
“I know but I dont need them.”
“3 dollar for 2. Buy 2, Ms.”
“No thanks.”
我重复了好几次，她好像完全不在意，跟我跟更近了些。
“I have post card. Do you want some post card Ms?”
“I bought some already.”
“Buy one more, Ms.”
“I dont need that much.”
“only 2 dollar, 12 cards.”
“No thanks.”
“Ms this is flute.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Will you buy a flute from me, Ms?”
她严谨的造句措辞，我绕有兴致地走到荫凉处，看她。
“Ms do you want a flute?”
“Let me see what do you have. ”
我挑着看，小笛子的确很别致，手工也不错。
“Flute, bamboo。”
“Hand made?”
“Yes.”
“Can fluting?”
可能她听不懂，抬头看我好一会，有些迟疑。
Ratuth过来找我，说还不动身到巴肯山就晚了。恰好此时遇见在马来西亚工作的一个同学。两人相聚甚欢，匆忙离开。
小孩跟上来。
“Ms will you buy 1 flute from me?”
“Sorry I am in rush.”
“Ms will you come back for me to buy a flute?”
我停在那，定定地看着她，一时间说不出话。
“Yes.”
“1 dollar for 1.”
“Ok. I will be back.”
“Ok, I wait for you. You will buy a flute for me.”
说得不错，You will buy a flute for me.
