Marie the Trader
Hey peeps, I’m sure you are reading the narratives that Marie told to Openfly as avidly as I am. The following is a transcript of a conversation in which Marie tells Openfly about how she traded with passing ships while she was in Shalampax.
“When I told you about teaching English to the people that I came to call Shalampaxians, I mentioned that I convinced the Shalampaxians to row me out to any ships that passed by during weather that was sufficiently clement to be out on the ocean without risking life and limb. That allowed me to trade for anything with pictures that could be used in my English lessons. What I don’t think I mentioned is that, whenever possible, I also traded for a few creature comforts that Shalampaxians had never seen before
“It is not as though the Shalampaxians had not tried to trade with passing ships before I came along. It’s just that they failed in these endeavors.
