B) You walk inside the main room of the house. Your mother and brother
sit on wooden stools near the table. Your mother apparently has been
crying. Your brother looks up at you with a fearful look on his face. "Wall
diggers broke into our dwelling last night. (Wall diggers were thieves
who dug through the mud brick walls into people's homes.) They stole
mother's jewelry, and worse, they stole the statue of Athena!". "How
could they do such a thing? Don't they know that Athena will bring ruin
down on our family and theirs? "
DO YOU?
