Question

read the passage from \by the waters of babylon.\
i went north—i did not try to hide myself. when a god or
a demon saw me, then i would die, but meanwhile i was
no longer afraid. my hunger for knowledge burned in me
—there was so much that i could not understand. after a
while, i knew that my belly was hungry. i could have
hunted for my meat, but i did not hunt. it is known that
the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from
enchanted boxes and jars. sometimes these are still
found in the dead places—once, when i was a child and
foolish, i opened such a jar and tasted it and found the
food sweet. but my father found out and punished me for
it strictly, for, often, that food is death. now, though, i had
long gone past what was forbidden, and i entered the
likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.
