Coming to Market

A woman and her donkey arrive at the market. The woman has picked cherries which she carries in a basket on her donkey's back.

The woman lives in the valley. She may have walked an hour or more up the mountain to the market. If she trades her cherries for potatoes, she can carry the potatoes home on her donkey's back.
