He studied for years. He learned the symbols. He practiced and practiced. He started off small. One symbol at a time. He learned a lot his first year studying, because he was good at memorization, but he knew he still had a lot to learn. He was born to a common family, but since he was so good at memorization his family knew he should become a scribe. He trained hard and finally after years of training he was ready. He knew practically all the three thousand symbols. He could now write poems and stories. He got a job keeping records for trade. He kept down how many crops or other useful things one had. In his spare time he wrote poems. He would carefully use his tools to make a wedge in the mud brick. After a while he grew older. A young boy who was very good at memorization came to him. He taught the boy one symbol at a time, he taught him how to put the wedge in his mud brick, and how to keep records. He taught him for a year. The boy knew many symbols but there was still a lot to learn. He trained the boy hard and finally after years of training the boy became a scribe the boy helped with the taxes. He kept records of what people owed and in his spare time he wrote prayers. But eventually he also became older and started teaching a young child. He taught the child one symbol at a time. The child learned a lot his first year, but he still had a lot to learn. Finally after years of training the child began to write records. He wrote what was happening in his town, when the floods came, and eventually he taught a boy.
