This story is pretty fascinating. If you've never read it, take 10 minutes today and give it some consideration. The main text starts about halfway down the page.
The story is told from the perspective of a pencil about all that goes into making a pencil: the wood, the graphite, the rubber, the metal, the paint, all from different parts of the world. Pencils would be very difficult to make on your own. But thanks to markets, high quality, highly affordable pencils are possible and accessible to nearly everyone.
