That loudmouth owl had better stop hooting omens. If it tries it again, it will be the one heading for bad luck.

Why won’t Dad ever buy me what I want? He’s happy to let Mum buy countless sacred chickens and pigs. But whenever I want something, he pretends he didn’t hear me, or claims we’ve got no money.

We went down to the auction to buy a new slave today, and Dad insisted on buying the cheapest one.

There was a Greek kid called Linos who was my age and could speak Latin. I asked Dad if we could buy him so I could talk to him about my combat training, but he refused. He said it would be a waste of money as we already had plenty of slaves who could speak Latin. But we don’t have any my age, do we?

We ended up buying a woman who was about a HUNDRED years old. Dad thought he was getting a bargain, but he needs to think long-term. As soon as that woman works hard, she’s going to keel over and need replacing. Linos might have been twice the money, but he’d last FIVE times longer.
