There was once a land where people didn’t use money at all. Here everyone traded whatever items they had. They would trade livestock, rare plants, or anything the other person wanted in exchange.
Also, back then, people did not have the kind of clothes we have today. Then clothes were made from animal hides because they didn’t know anything about cotton.
In this land lived a man named Jax who owned a big cotton farm. The problem was, no one knew what cotton was good for. People thought it was just a strange, useless thing.
Jax tried to trade his cotton for food and other basics, but nobody wanted it. This left him as one of the poorest people in town and he always had trouble getting what he needed.
Infact, Jax’s leather clothes were getting old and worn out.
With nothing much to trade, he decided to get creative. He remembered how he used to make baskets out of dried grass and thought, “Maybe I can make clothes out of cotton!” So, he tried his hand at it.
To his surprise, the cotton clothes turned out to be incredibly soft and warm.
Jax knew he had discovered something special. The next day, he proudly wore his new cotton clothes to the market.
Everyone was amazed! The new clothes were so different from anything they had seen before, and soon everyone wanted a pair.
As more and more people came to Jax to trade for cotton clothes, he started getting lots of cattle and other goods in return. His cotton farm became famous, and Jax grew very wealthy.
His warm, comfortable clothes had now become a hit, especially in the chilly winter.
