Do Now

• Your father, a wandering trader, has decided it
  is time to settle down. He offers the family a
  choice between two cities. In one city everyone
  wants to be athletic, tough, strong. The other
  city is different. There, youd be admired if

  you knew a lot about astronomy or history, or if
  you sand and played beautiful music.
• Which city would you choose? Why?
