I) You see a stale bit of bread lying on the side of the street. You decide to slowly pick it up and hand it to the ravenous dog. The dog looks suspicious, and carefully sniffs at the moldy bread in your outstretched hand. He quickly snaps up the bread in one hungry mouthful. You gently pat the top of its head. It seems a little more friendly now, and sits down by your feet, licking its chops. Suddenly, you hear the, "Baaaahhhh!", of sheep, and see the herd coming your way again. "Oh no, not this again!", you cry. The smell, the heat, and . . . the shepherd. "I told you, OUT OF MY WAY!!!". The shepherd reaches out his hands toward your neck, but before he can make his move, the dog leaps up and bites his rear end! "AAAAHHHH!!!" cries the shepherd as he runs for his life. You and the stray dog walk slowly down a narrow street in the Sumerian city of Lagash. As you walk, you think to yourself how fun it will be to have a pet, if your mother lets you keep it.
