3. Your neighbor borrows your cow without asking you, completely intending to return it to you in the same condition it was borrowed. You�
Shoot both his hands after referring to the ancient text for guidance.
Censure him, but you refuse to harm him unless absolutely necessary. It�s just a cow, afterall.
Give him the other cow too. After all, what is yours is also his.
You react violently, and in an act of pure rage, you knock down his door.
4. You are taking a walk in a nearby forest when you spot a beautiful gold bowl sitting in the grass that would make a lovely edition to your bowl collection. No one is around. You�
Steal it and keep it safely tucked away in your house. Finder�s keepers.
Bring it back to the community to see if it belongs to anyone. If no one claims it you take it back to the forest and everyone gets to use it as a drinking dish
Claim that as an aristocrat you are entitled to that bowl. You take it home and promise to wage war on anyone who dares to touch it
Take it back home and try to use it to reflect the sun�s light, thus cooling the Earth by a few degrees. Or, you plant it to see if a pot will grow.
5. You see an infant of your species stranded in the woods, alone and frightened. You have plenty of finances, and no children. You�
Raise the child as your own, bringing it up with good moral standings and a love of antiquity.
You raise the child, of course! He has good bones and a tall stance, and one day he will make a fine dictator.
You and the members of your community raise the child together. His number is 276.
Nuh uh. You�re not falling for that one. The child isn�t yours, so why should you have to take care of it? It can rot in the streets for all you care.
6. You�ve been working hard all day, and you finally have a few moments to relax. You spend your time�
Plotting the usurping of a neighboring kingdom. Your enemies never sleep, so why should you?
Reading about far off places while hungering for that new stagecoach you know you can�t afford (your old stagecoach works just fine, anyway).
Writing poetry and conversing with those who share my interests (everyone). Is there any greater joy?
Taking a stroll to a neighboring market. Perhaps you can sell something valuable
7. Death is�
A beautiful, peaceful thing. My one life will further the ecosystem, while my spirit returns to its mother.
I don�t worry about death. I live for the moment.
Scary. Why should I have to die? I�m me, after all. I am above other creatures. Immortality should be mine.
Unacceptable. Dead kings cannot rule.
8. It is a gift-giving holiday in your community/ and or kingdom. You are given the choice between two gifts; an old, beautiful tapestry woven with the tales of those who have passed or a sleek, glorious golden arrow that would bring shame to all other arrows. You choose�
The tapestry. There are no uses for arrows.
The arrow. I can sale it for something better, slay an enemy with it, or admire it needlessly for hours.
The tapestry. There is much to discuss about its many uses.
The arrow. The shiniest arrow will always win over the dull one.
9. A shamefully huge bolder sits in front of the path you wish to take. You�
Shoot it with arrows without a second thought.
You simply move off of the path and walk around the boulder
You move the boulder.
You scream, cursing your bad luck

Life is a beautiful thing that should be enjoyed by everyone capable of appreciating it.
Life is short.
Life is filled with twists and turns, good days and bad days. But that�s life, and the important thing is to live it.

I am the one and I am the all because my books tell me so.
12. This world is made of�
You and me, love and peace, mice and yahoos.
Greed, unpredictable circumstances and unfair advantages.
Books and arrows. The more of these I have, the better.
