Carrying pole

A carrying pole is like a stick that is used to help people carry heavy things. It usually has a long, skinny part in the middle and two handles on either end. People put heavy things, like baskets of food or buckets of water, on the carrying pole so they can carry them without hurting their backs or arms. The handles are important because they help keep the heavy thing balanced so it doesn't tip over and spill everything. It's kind of like carrying a see-saw, but instead of sitting on it and moving up and down, you're walking with it and keeping it straight. Carrying poles have been around for a very long time, and lots of different cultures all over the world have used them to help them carry heavy things.
