Chapter three is about trading. In Village, trading was taken very seriously. So far, people have no money to by things, instead they trade for things they need. Matty wanted to attend one of the Trade Marts, but Seer said he was too young and "it would be to painful." That could mean the temptation could be to painful. Or, it could mean something else.
Also, in chapter three, Matty recalled a memory when he first came to Village. It explained some rules. One was that there were absolutely no secrets in Village, so everyone should be honest. This rule interferes with the event with the frog because he has not told anyone abut it, therefore a secret.
In chapter four, it goes on with some regulations of Village. The town leader, Jonas, called Matty to meet him. Jonas wanted him to deliver a message. Matty was the "unofficial" messenger since he was so good at traveling in and out of Forest. Matty could not be the "official" messenger because he was not old enough. The message was about closing the border, or not letting anyone in Village. This came as a surprise to Matty because Village was formed for people who were escaping poverty and cruelty.
