- Mark Marker here,
reporting live from Swap Day at City Island Elementary.
- Sounds fun.
Do you need any money?
- Sorry, Bill.
When you swap, there isn't any selling.
There's a garage sale next door
that would love your help.
- Ooo, I love sales!
- Look at all these cool swappable items.
Lidia has these fun pompoms from her cheerleading days.
[Lidia blowing whistle]
Sally and Piper are here with home baked spice cookies.
- They're sweet and spicy! - Just like us.
- [Mark] It's Windy with a dazzling array
of her finest bows.
- They're every color of the rainbow!
- [Mark] Watt Light, keeping it bright.
He's trading this one of a kind comic book.
- It's the first issue of Watt Light Comics.
I drew it myself.
- You heard it here first!
Happy swapping g*ng!
- My comic is sure to be a hit.
It's a fresh take on superhero mythology,
plus it has explosions.
I bet I can swap it for something super cool.
[gasping] A Dusty Buster Space Helmet
with retractable visor and laser lights!
I've always wanted one!
Hello, Boxter, my good man.
Put on your oven mitts, this item is red hot.
It's a comic I made myself!
- Okay, first edition, white pages.
Well, it's a cool comic, Walt.
- Watt.
- But not quite what I'm in the market for.
What I'm really looking for is something sweet.
- Oh no!
My comic is sweet to the eyes, not to the mouth.
- Mmm, tough luck, Walt.
[buzzer buzzing]
- I gotta get that helmet.
What am I gonna do?
- Another dramatic moment at Swap Day.
Watt, how are you feeling?
Bummed! - Yes.
- Miserable? - Yep.
- Dejected.
- Don't those words mean the same thing?
- Sorry, I just swapped my microphone for a thesaurus.
It was fair, even and equitable.
- I thought my comic would be a surefire swap,
but I got turned down.
- You have to consider value.
The value is what each item is worth to different people.
- I'm worth exactly $.
- That's great, Bill.
But with swapping it doesn't always matter
how much money something costs.
- What?
I'm going back to the garage sale.
- What do you mean, Mark?
- Your comic has a high value to you because you love it,
but other people may not feel the same way.
If you know what someone likes, you'll know what they value.
- Hmm, how can I swap from my comic to that helmet?
Windy likes cool comics.
Lidia likes bows for her ponytail.
Sally and Piper like dancing with pompoms
and Boxter likes sweets.
Hello, Boxter,
I believe you were looking for something sweet.
What do you think about trading for these cookies?
- Hmm, good smell, looks crispy, nice chip distribution.
[cookie crunching]
I believe we have a trade.
Here is your Dusty Buster Helmet.
- All right!
- Nice helmet, Watt!
It looks like you finally found a fair swap.
- Thanks to your advice,
I was able to figure out what was most valuable to everyone
and get something I really wanted.
- There you have it.
Another fine day of swapping at City Island Elementary.
It was fun, enjoyable and entertaining.
Man, I love this thesaurus!
- Good swapping today, Watt.
- Thanks, Windy.
Can I read that when you're done?
