    Long ago, people had to get what they wanted by trading. Some people farmed the land. Other people made tools. Tolls were traded for food.

    All kinds of trading took place. If a man had too much meat, he could trade it for corn. He could trade animals skins for tools. Sometimes men traded a day's work for a place to sleep.

    Many useful things were traded. But people wanted pretty things, too. A farmer might trade milk for a piece of beautiful cloth.

    Even today we trade with one another. When you buy candy, do you pay for it with bear fat? Of course not! You use money. But you are still trading. You are still giving one thing for another.
