The dog
Hello my name's Marcus Antonius, I'm 13 years old and I live on a far with my family in the Roman Empire. Right now I am walking with mother an the market. We are looking for some nice food for the evening. While my mother is looking for food my eyes catch something that makes my heart bleed. I am looking right in the eyes of a dog that looks like a German Shepard. He's tied up to a wooden pole. He looks so bad. It looks he has been beating by a wooden stick and a whip. He also look like he hasn't eaten for weeks, he must be starving. While I was frozen my mother kept walking until she noticed I wasn't anymore by her side. "Marcus? What are you doing?" My mother asked. She followed my eyes and saw me staring at the dog. She sighed deeply and said: "look Marcus, bad things happen in life. That dog was born on the wrong time and place, there's nothing we can do for him. I am sorry." I looked finally away from the dog and asked, almost begged to my mother: "mother, can we please buy him? I can't let him stay here!" My mom looked at me and said: "dear Marcus, we don't need a dog." "but we can use him for the sheeps and to protect the house against bad people. My mom opened her mouth to argue but she closed it again, she looks like she's in deep thoughts. Seconds that feel like minutes pass. Eventually she looks at me and says: "you know what, maybe you're right." She looks at the dog and then at me. "come on." She takes my hand walks to the man that stands by the dog. "how much costs this dog?" The man thinks a little while and then says, with a mean smile: "25 denarii" mother look shocked and says: "25! Are you out of your mind! That dog is in that state not even worth 10!" The man shakes his head, "it is your choice and money madame." Mother thinks a little bit and then says: "is 12 good?" The man thinks and says: "17" upon which my mother said: "15 then!" The man looks at the dog sighs and says: "fine, your loss. That dog is useless." He then takes the rope from the pole and gives it to me. The dogs doesn't understand what's happening but he doesn't look scared. Mother and I walk further into the market and my mother sighs but doesn't really look angry or sad. We walk our way home and soon we'r standing in front of our home. Mom opens the door. The dog and I walk inside. My father's cleaning his sword while he sits in front of the fireplace. As soon as mother, I and the dog walk inside my father his head around. First he looks calm but then he sees the dog. He stands up and shouts furiously: "WHY IS THERE A DOG INSIDE MY HOUSE!!!"
O no, I am in big trouble.
