Three who eke out a living

Here are three hardworkers I encountered today. Seeing how they struggle to make a living, I really hope they somehow get by:

• The slightly-built young fellow who perseveres to pedal his Selecta ice cream cart up our main--an uphill climb--street rain or shine.
• The old woman who rummages through the trash bags for recyclables near our office building. I've long wondered how old she is and where she lives. 
• The lady who watches that tiny shop where I buy those plastic slinky-like pony-tailers. Although narrow shop's walls are teeming with all sorts of other kaboodle and there are trays of more stuff placed on a narrow table along one wall, I hardly see anybody drop by.
