A) You are too hungry to wait, so you run outside to partake of the
morning meal. Your mother is pulling hot barley cakes out of the clay
oven. Your mouth is watering. You pick up one of the cakes and cram it
into your mouth, nearly burning your fingers. Mmmmm, delicious! Your
father strolls in off the narrow street after a long morning of trading. You
want to be a merchant like your father some day. It seems like an exciting
lifestyle. Travelling to different city-states, trading expensive gems and
metals. After all, you would be a member of the second social class. After
you finish your second cake, your father unexpectedly asks you if you
would be interested in joining him when he travels to the exciting city of Ur
on a trading mission from your ensi or priest-ruler. The ensi of Lagash,
your city-state, is known as Gudea, a wise and noble ruler. Your father
awaits your decision.
