It was the week of new beginnings. This was the week that all the new babies of Allegory were to be born. The streets were buzzing with the citizens gathered in the town square. The crowds of people created waves of brown, grey and yellow throughout the streets of Platon. You see during this week, the citizens wore their ceremonial robes. These robes were of the greatest craftsmanship, each robe containing the cotton plucked from the same cotton field, just north of the tower, in the agriculture district. Although each robe was individual and unique to their respectful craft, they all shared in a common heritage and beginning. The streets during this week were filled with laughter and cheer, as the most beautiful harp music could be heard mixed with the sound of footsteps. The harp was the States national instrument and with it the harpist replayed the songs of antiquity. These songs all written in the Phrygian mode made the townspeople feel at peace with the anxiety of child birth.
