The Daily Life of an Egyptian Craftsmen

    You wake up, splash water on your face and stumble sleepily to the kitchen. You eat a small, quick breakfast and lumber downstairs to your workshop. You're a craftsmen in Ancient Egypt and you've just opened you business for the day. Soon others next to you in the marketplace start opening up their own booths.  Today is marketday, and you can already imagine what a load you'll pull off today.  Finally, the market opens and people come rushing in to get in front of the lines that will develop.  Already you've sold some items at a great price!  This is going great, there's a huge line in front of your booth and you've still got plenty of great items.  You haggle with the citizens and more just keep rushing up.  You close for lunch and when you come back, there's a mob of people that've ben waiting ever since you left!  After a few more hours the market closes and you close down your shop, this has been a great day!  And as you settle down to sleep you can only think of one more thing that might be better than today, you smile, and think of tomorrow.  And then, you fall asleep.
