A Pocketful of Pigs - 初級口語教程 简体

Lesson 32 Text A A Pocketful of Pigs

Once there was no money.

If people wanted to get something , they had to give something. This is the way

it used to be.

I will give you my cow for your pig, a man would say. I'll give you my bowl if

you give me a shirt, another would say.

Here are seven oranges for one fish.

Will you give mc a chicken for a bag of corn

People had to trade things every day. They had to give a thing to ge.t a thing

because there wasn't any money.

But they had to work out a good trade . one that came out

even..

What could you get for two chickens Were thrce bags of apples a good trade for

two bags of grapes Or onc bag of apples for a little butter What was an even

trade It was hard to know.

And it was too hard to carry around all the thinga for trading. People had to

use too much time getting things they needed. So they thought of a new way to

trade.

They thought of money.

Money could stand for apples, or bowls, or pigs.

And a pocketful of money was better than a pocketful of pigs.

With money, it was not so hard to trade. Everyone could use money. The man who

needed a.pig could buy it with money. The man who sold the pig could keep the

moyey until he needed something. People could work for money, and people buy

things with the money they got from work.
