MANAUS, BRAZIL - A video circulating on social media shows a riverside resident selling fruit to a moving vessel on the Madeira River in Brazil's Amazonas state. The footage captures the moment the vendor approaches the boat to offer produce to passengers while both vessels are navigating the river.

The video shows the two boats drawing alongside each other as the vendor sells fruit directly from his small boat, a common practice in parts of the Amazon region, where river transportation is an essential part of daily life for local communities.

As the vessel Marlene Coimbra passed by, passengers purchased fruit, including a watermelon, which they ate during the journey.

The footage was widely shared on social media and drew attention as an example of a common scene in riverside communities along the Madeira River.
