1. But men younger than I am make fun of me now!Their fathers have always been so worthlessthat I wouldn't let them help my dogs guard sheep.
2. They were a bunch of worn-out men,too weak to do any work for me.
3. They were so poor and hungrythat they would gnaw dry roots —at night, in wild, desolate places.
4. They pulled up the plants of the desert and ate them,even the tasteless roots of the broom tree!
5. Everyone drove them away with shouts,as if they were shouting at thieves.
6. They had to live in caves,in holes dug in the sides of cliffs.
