I'll trade these English beads for some of that fish you skillfully caught. What's that, brother? Ma has dysentery? Oh no!....Wait, what else?...we broke an axle, too??....Repeat, brother! I can't read the text because I'm in 4th grade and don't know I need glasses! And what part of the body is the axle in? ....What's that, brother? ....Are we going to have a proper burial or leave her while on the Oregon Trail? Is this the fun game?
So, I learned a few things from The Oregon Trail. One being that I needed glasses, two being that everyone used to die of dysentery, and 3 being that you can barter for just about anything. I love to barter. And it's a good thing. My taste is too fancy for my pocket book.
If we still lived in the world of guilds, and Robert Smith was actually the blacksmith, I suppose I'd be Crystal Cheesecake. I make cheesecakes. And people give me money for them. But tomorrow someone is giving me 3 dozen eggs from her farm for a 6" cheesecake. And I am excited.
This leads me to my next question: What am I going to do with 3 dozen farm fresh eggs? Well, I could eat them. Or I could trade a dozen of them for another commodity.
So, I pose the question, is there anything you guys would like to trade for a dozen, organic, farm fresh eggs? Please leave the item you'd like to trade in the comments below.
