back in time adventure

As the procession marches toward you over the sand you see that behind the guards there is a person sitting on a kind of carrying chair. The carrying is being done by four other people, one to each corner of the chair. The person being carried is dressed in a richly decorated tunic and is sporting a broad crescent headdress. From his clothes and the haughty look on his face you can tell that he is someone important, maybe like the principal of your school. Imagine your principal being carried through the schoolyard on a chair, by four older students, guarded by teachers! The picture seems so silly you burst into a fit of giggles.
