THE CLERK
Hi I am the Clerk. I am 30 years old. That also happens to be 210 dog years. I really enjoy reading, doing mathematical equations, and making myself more knowladgeable. I am not employed anywhere; however, I feel that being a good student and becoming smarter is my true proffesion. I go to school at Oxford in England. There, I improve my mind with other great persons. Sure, I may not have a lot of gold money, but my real wealth is in my mind. Material wealth can only get you so far, while the wealth of the mind can take you to the stars.

Journal: June, 24 1307 Here I sit. The great student of Oxford that I am. I sit with my skinny horse. Now that I think of it, I am pretty skinny also. My clothes are not looking so great either. But at least I have a bag full of brand new books for that is all that matters. I must pay back all of my friends from whom I have borrowed, but I have no money to my name. Every time I borrow some more, I spend all that I have on new books. Oh well. Maybe I can repay them by teaching them my knowledge. That is truly the most important wealth of all.
