  2. Buying and Selling

    There were not many shops in this district long ago. The people were very poor and money was very scarce. Sometimes the people, known as "hawkers," would stay outside the churches and the people would buy some articles and they paid some money for them.
    Other people would exchange their goods for different goods. This was know as "bartering". A person who did this was known as a "barter". Any person might give double the value of an article he got when exchanging goods; and he would do so if he needed an article badly. Nowadays some people go into a shop and they give eggs in exchange for money.
