In the book "to kill a mocking bird", uncle jack says "i know. your daughter gave me my first lessons this afternoon. she said i didn't understand children much and told me why. she was quite right. atticus, she told how i should have treated her- oh dear, i'm so sorry i romped on her." so my question is what does uncle jack mean when he said he "romped" on her. i tried looking it up online but couldn't find anything on it.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
