Folk tale quality in this simple text with pictures telling the story of a little old woman who went from neighbor to neighbor to get advice as to how to make a living. From merchant to milliner to dressmaker -- and none could give her other advice than to follow their trade. Then to a farmer, who suggested she use what she had and follow him, and barter what she raised for what she needed. A primer of barter.
