As towns grew, people began trading goods they made or collected.

They exchanged items like food, tools, baskets, and animal skins.

Trade helped people get things their own town did not have.

Soon, small objects like shells and beads were used to show value.

These special items became the first forms of money.

Trade and money helped towns grow and connect with each other.
