  1. Long ago there was a little shop at nearly every crossroads. But these shops only sold tobacco and some other small goods. If a person wanted a bag of flour or a bag of meal he would have to go to the nearest town to get it. Long ago the people used to give a bag of oats to the shopkeeper for a bag of flour.
