Mini Homeschool Lesson

Today I am going to teach you about the legend of the city of Rome. A legend is a story told by generation to generation until it is finally written down. Most legends are not real. This legend tells about how the city of Rome( the capitol of Italy) was build and named.                                                                                                                                   Once upon a time, there was a wicked king with two infant nephews named Remus and Romulus. The king did not want the boys to threaten his rule so he put them in a basket and sent them down the river. Legend says the boys where found by a wolf and raised by a shepherd. Later, the boys overthrew the uncle and decided to build a new city to rule. Problem was they could not decide who was going to rule the new city and what to name it. Remus jumped over the ditch outside the city which is considered evil and was killed. Remulus then became the ruler and named the city ” Roma” or “Rome” after himself. So next time you argue or squable with your siblings or parents be thankful it is not over what to name or how to rule the city.
