Power Hour 70 What Is Trade? by Susan LaBella

Services and money can also be traded. A service is any work someone does for someone else. Have people ever paid you to mow their lawn? If so, you traded a service for money. People and countries may trade because they have too much of one thing and need something else. Here is an example. In some places, people grow a lot of rice. They grow more rice than they need. So they sell some rice to other countries. Those countries exchange money for the rice. The people who grew the rice get the money. They can trade it for other things. People can get the things they need by trading.
