What is trade and how did it begin ? Today you see large shops and it is so easy to go
inside them and buy what you want. But do you ever think ever where the things you
buy come from ? You made by a woolen shawl in a shop in your city. It may have come
all the way from Kashmir and the two wool may have grown on the backs of sheep in
the mountains of Kashmir or Ladakh. A watch that you buy may have come in ships
and railway trains all the way from Japan. So also, you may buy things made in
America or China or Paris or London. Great ships are always carrying the goods of one
country to another. But it was not always so.
In the early days when meant settled down there was very little trade. Everything that a
man wanted he had to grow himself or make himself. Sometimes it must have happened
that one tried had a great deal of one thing and another a great deal of something else. It
was natural for them to exchange goods. For instance one tribe might give a cow for a
bag of grain. There was no money in those days. Things could only be exchanged. So
exchange begin. It must have been rather inconvenient. To get a bag of grain, or
something like it, one had to carry a cow or maybe a couple of sheep !
When gold and silver were found , people started using them for trade. It was easier to
carry them. And gradually the custom arose of paying for things in gold and silver. The
first person who thought of this must have been a very clever person. The use of gold
and silver made trade very much easier. Even then there was no coins as we have them

"Somebody's Mother"
His young heart happy and well content.
At last came out of the merry troop
'She's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
The gayest boy of all the group;
For all she's aged, and poor and slow;
He paused beside her and whispered low,
Aud someone, some time, may lend a hand
I'll help you across, if you wish to go.'
To help my mother -- you understand?
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
If ever she's old and poor and gray,
She placed, and so without hurt or harm
And her own dear boy so far away.'
He guided the trembling feet along,
Somebody's mother' bowed low her head
Proud that his own were young and strong;
In her homne that night, and the prayer she said
Then back again to his friends he went,
Was: 'God be kind to that noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and joy.
