week 8

This week we did a bit of trading and heard a bit more of the story we've been reading over microsociety. In the story there was a family who were doing very well and had lots of seeds which was their currency and were deciding what they should use them for. One of the children in the family wanted to give their extra seeds to a family that wasn't doing so well, the other child wanted to buy more land so they could grow more seeds at once. The mother wanted to plant them so they would have even more extra seeds and food in a month or two but the father thought they could have some time off by paying somebody else to do their work for them. It's still to be known which they will choose because we haven't hear the end of the story yet. I think it would be nice if they gave another family a head start but if they just want seeds then they should buy land off someone else and plant seeds in it to make more.
