Being a girl, Hatshep did not go to school. When she was years old, she was given a little stick and sent into the field to look after the geese. She carried a poti of boiled lentils in her hand, a skin bottle of milk on her back, and she lived with the geese in the feld from early morn till sunset.
Sometimes Hatshep sighed for somebody to talk; the geese were too occupied grubbing for food to take much notice of her, so she made friends with the wild barley.
"For eight years, she herd- ed her father's gecae and pretended she was wild barley.
She thought it was the prettiest thing in the field, and it was never atill, I shivered, and rustled, and bowed to the breezes, and trembled in the storm; it held itself very straight when the sun shone, and when the wind awept through it Hatshep thought it was playing with somebody she could not see. "I wish I were you, wild barley."
