Once upon a time, there was a small village where the currency for bartering goods was a coin with a special image on it. One day, a clever counterfeiter came to the village and made fake coins with the same image, but of a different denomination. The villagers were shocked to find out that their beloved currency was now worthless!

But then, a wise old owl came up with a solution. He suggested that instead of using coins, they should use circulation. Everyone in the village would take turns being the "currency" for the day by helping others with their chores and tasks.

And so, the villagers started bartering with each other using their own skills and abilities, and the circulation of kindness and generosity became the new currency of the village. The counterfeiter was left empty-handed and everyone lived happily ever after!
