How Caesar Dies

Once upon a time, there was a man named Caesar, he was old, he was very very old, extremely old. He couldn't walk, he couldn't hear, but he could run and he could ride a bike, he could drive a car, he could drive a cart and he could talk. So when he was moving around his house, he had to run all of the time and he wanted to go to a war, so he went to a war and this is how he died.... He ran too much that he died.

That's a pretty funny story. Now we will learn how he really died.

One fine morning Caesar was going out to see some of his favorite horses. When he got there he noticed that the horses were not eating, instead they had tears in their eyes. Caesar thought, "Hmmm. I should go ask the gods why are the horses crying and not eating." While he was in the gods' temple somebody came and said, "Beware the ides of March." Then he went home and told his wife about it. That night his wife had a bad dream. She dreampt she was holding her husband because he was stabbed and he died. Then she woke up and told him not to go to the Senate. She said, "Remember the person who came to you in the temple said to beware the ides of March." Caesar said, "I'll go there anyways." He thought he had nothing to fear. So he went. 23 Senators took Casar and killed him with knives on the marble floor in the Senate, even his own friend Brutus killed him. Then the Senators hid because they thought people would do something to them for killing the Dictator for Life.

That's sad.
