Caesar and Cleopatra part 1

When Pompey ran away from Rome he was still up to his tricks. He decided to go to Egypt for help to destroy Caesar. Caesar heard that Pompey was going to Egypt for help and he was worried that Pompey would cause trouble for Rome and Egypt. So Caesar said, "I will go to Egypt and put Pompey in prison."
Meanwhile...in Egypt they had something wrong themselves. They hadtwo rulers, one was a 15 year old Pharaoh and one was his 21 year old sister named Cleopatra. They both wanted to rule Egypt themselves. So Cleopatra's brother thought that he did not need his sister one bit and threw her out of Egypt.
Pharaoh heard that Julius Caesar was comming and he was afraid that Julius would conquor Egypt but he also heard that Pompey was comming and so he got his guards to kill Pompey. Paraoh thought that Julius Caesar would be happy that he killed Pompey and would not make war with them. Instead, Julius Caesar, when he got there, he was sad because he just wanted Pompey in prison. He went to the castle and meant to tell the Paraoh that he just wanted Pompey in prison but Cleopatra was there and wanted him to help her get rid of her brother. She asked him very kindly and said that she will rule and share all of Egypts treasures with him.

Wait for part 2 to find out what Caesar chose to do.
