A List by the River

In Willowbend, a town beside a river, families visit the dock market on Saturday. A graph shows how many families marked each item on a market list: bread, water, a coat, a tent, a toy boat, and a kite. Bread and water help bodies live. A coat helps keep a person warm, and a tent gives a place to stay. A toy boat and a kite are fun, but people can live without them.
