WE BUY WITH MONEY

Mr Qazi is addressing his class. We all know what shopping means ,don,twe?it means to buy to buy from a shop or a market or a vendor.
We buy with money.

We go to a shop or a market to buy the things that we need .we buy flour and rice. We buy tea and sugar. We buy bread and butter.we buy meat and eggs. We buy poultry.we buy salt and pepper. We buy vegetables.we buy all these things and we buy them with money.

Azhar asks.Mr.Qazi. sir there was a time when money was not known.how did people manage to get what they needed ?

Mr.Qazi.says you have a good point there .Azhar. the concept of money appeared very late in the history of man.just before the intoduction of money,man had been getting all he needed through barter. Barter means exchanging goo ds with goods."

In the very beginnging of history however even barter was not known. Man had been making or producing most things for himself.he had been hunting animals for meat.he had been growing his own food.he had been making all short of things to protect of him self from wild animals or from cold winds and the hot sun in other words man had been struggling hard for life. He had been producing nearly everything for himself.man had been doing all this himself becaucse he had no money to buy things.

The barter system too came to be known a long time before the introduction of money.As you can see one man could not make or produce all the things he needed.he could make or produce only a few things.he had therebefore been bartering his goods or services with the goods or services of other.one man had been making say tools while another had been growing food.the former had tools in excess while the latter had food in excess.both had been looking for some body who could lift their excess.in this case the gentalman who had been making toos was in need of food and the one who had been growing food was in need of toos.the first gentalman had been trading his toos with the food the other gentalman had been producing.or may be with the vegetables he had been growing.or may be with the shoes he had been making.it all depanded on his needs.this was the barter system and people traded under system before money came to be used.

But you can see it is a lot simpler and a lot more convenient to buy with money.in the first place you may not be in a position to produce anything and thus offer your products to get the things that you need.secondly you dont need to carry things on you only have to go to a shop or a market with a few currency notes in your purse or pocket.you can by anything under the sun with money.money has indeed made shopping a lot easier.hasnot it,boys?"
Yes,sir, it certainly has."
