Let's explore a little economics
It's hot and sunny when Luke wakes up on Saturday morning. Luke lives in Florida
His family owns an orange grove called Sunshine Citrus
They grow the sweetest juiciest oranges
Luke has ever tasted. As he walks into the kitchen, his mom asks him, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Luke has been thinking about the perfect breakfast since he woke up
pancakes syrup and orange juice
We can have pancakes and orange juice but not syrup
It is cold and there's frost on the windows when Jacqueline wakes up on Saturday morning
Jacklyn lives in Canada
Her family owns a farm called Maple Valley Syrup. Their maple trees make the sweetest,
stickiest syrup Jacqueline has ever tasted.
As she walks into the kitchen her mother asks her, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Jacklyn has been thinking about the perfect breakfast since she woke up:  Pancake syrup and orange juice, please
We can have pancakes and syrup, but not orange juice
Why not? We don't have any orange juice
Can't we make orange juice? We make maple syrup from our maple trees
We tap our trees, collect the sap and boil it to make syrup. Why can't we pick oranges and make orange juice?
Her mom tells her that it's too cold in Canada for orange trees to grow they grow in warmer places like, Florida
Jacklyn is sad that she can't have orange juice with her breakfast. Then her mom has an idea
Your grandfather is going to travel to Florida with some maple syrup to sell at the farmers market
He will sell to serve and bring back some oranges from Florida so we can make juice
Jacklyn likes this idea very much
But I really want syrup. We don't have any. Can we make syrup?
Like we make orange juice from orange trees. We pick oranges from our trees and squeeze them and make juice
Why can't we make maple syrup?
His mom tells him that it is too warm in Florida for maple trees to produce syrup. They grow in colder places like Canada
Luke's mom tells him that maybe when he goes to the farmers market to sell oranges he could buy some maple syrup
Luke thinks that's a great idea
It takes a long time to drive from Canada to Florida
But when grandfather arrives at the farmers market, he sets up his tent to sell maple syrup
Grandfather takes some money he has made from selling maple syrup and walks over to buy some oranges from Sunshine Citrus
I'd like to buy some oranges, please
Luke hands grandfather the oranges and grandfather hands Luke money to pay for the oranges. 
GRANDFATHER: Thank you!
My granddaughter Jacklyn is going to be so happy when I bring her these oranges. 
LUKE: You are welcome!
Later that day after Luke has sold most of his oranges, he takes some money
he has earned from selling oranges and walks over to the Maple Valley Syrup tent when he sees grandfather. He smiles
LUKE: I remember you from earlier today. You bought some oranges for me. GRANDFATHER: I did. 
LUKE: I would like to buy some syrup from you
Luke gives grandfather money and grandfather gives Luke some syrup.
LUKE: Thank you. I know just what I will do with this syrup
At the end of the day grandfather had sold all of his syrup
He packed up the oranges he bought from Luke and put them in the back of his truck
Then he started the long drive back to Canada
Luke had worked all day to sell his oranges
He helped his dad pack up their table in tent
Then he put his maple syrup in the basket of his bicycle and rode home as fast as he could
The next morning Luke was so excited as he ran into the kitchen
He could smell the pancakes his mom was making as Luke and his mom sat down to eat breakfast
Luke told his mom all about his day at the farmers market. LUKE: First
I sold some oranges. Then with the money that I got from selling the oranges, traded for some maple syrup
I am so happy I traded because now I get to have orange juice and maple syrup with my pancakes: the perfect breakfast
Jacklyn had been waiting for her grandfather to come back from Florida
When she saw his truck coming down the road, she was so excited. She jumped up and down
When grandfather got to the house, he handed her the oranges and she ran inside to the kitchen
Jacklyn and her mom cut the oranges and squeezed them to make juice
Jacklyn and her mom squeezed and squeezed until the whole pitcher was full of sweet orange juice
When Jacklyn's brother Daniel came into the kitchen for breakfast, the pancakes were already on the table as he sat down
Jacklyn said: Look, we even have orange juice to go with our pancakes and syrup. 
DANIEL: Oh wow
How do we get this orange juice?
Jacklyn told her brother how
Grandfather had loaded up the truck with maple syrup from their trees
And then traveled all the way to Florida to sell the syrup at the farmers market
Then he took some of the money from selling syrup and traded it for some oranges
He drove all the way home with oranges then mom and I squeezed the oranges to make juice. This is the best morning ever
Because I get to have oranges with my pancakes and syrup.
I agree, her brother said, but it was hard to tell what he said because his mouth was full of pancakes
