Cleopatra and the Egyptians

Cleopatra's father and mother weren't egyptian they were roman. they're roman but they came to egypt. In the Egyptian's time, brother and sister married each other. Cleopatra was the wife of her brother, Ptolemy XIII. He was 10, he was younger than his sister Cleopatra. She was 18 when she married him. I'm glad I'm not an Egyptian. Or else I'd have to marry one of my sisters. Her brother's officer drove her out of Egypt. She went to Rome and she found this guy called Julius Caesar. She asked him if he could help her fight Ptolemy. And he did. And he won. She married him. And he had this sorta statue near this golden seat. It was the statue of himself. And the golden seat was his own. And so these guys wanted to assassinate him because he had that seat and statue. And he was a rich man. So when he got killed, Cleopatra went back to Egypt, because the Romans didn't trust an Egyptian. -- the end, for now -- - to be continued -

Henry Ford

Henry Ford was a young boy of 6 and he mostly asked questions, one day he made a machine that grinded corn so he didn't have to use his hands to grind the corn. A few days after that, his father got him a slate for his school and one day when he was at school, he took a pocket knife from his pocket and put "H and F" on there desk and then he handed it to Edsel and Edsel carved his own initials, "E, A and R" and they both got whacked on the fingers by Miss Nardin (the teacher).

Mother Cabrini missionary to the world

It all started out when Susan came to New Orleans, and one day she went with Loretta (her friend), and they both went to see Mother Angelina, so she told them about Mother Cabrini, this is what it said in the book: Susan Appleby was the new girl at St. Mary's Italian school on Chartres Street in New Orleans. Everything about the school and the pupils was strange to her, and, in turn, the other pupils thought there was something strange about her. She did not have any parents or grandparents of Italian background like them, nor did her family now belong, through long time residence and adoption, in New Orleans; it was easy to see, by unfamiliarity with there prayers and other practices, that she was not Catholic. The other reasons why she seemed strange to them were less evident. Her father had come to Louisiana from suburban New York to represent a firm dealing in electrical appliances that was trying the experiment of opening new branch in the South. After a long search for a place to live that was within his limited mean-for he did not have a large salary-he found an old house that had been divided into small apartments. Once it had been a very beautiful house, and some of its former beauty could still be seen in its columned doorway and its wrought-iron balcony and its sculptured cornics. Now it needed new plumbing, more lighting fixtures, and all sorts of other major improvments. The people who lived in it where resigned to the fact that they could not have anything better,

Harry Houdini

once upon a time there lived a boy called Erich Weiss (also Harry Houdini later on in the story) and one day he went to the circus (he went under the ropes because he didn't have five cents with him),this is what it said in the book: "Watch closely,"the magician on the platform was saying."Watch me pick enough coins out of the air to fill the empty bucket. He waved his hands to show that they were empty. He turned the bucket upside down to show that it was also empty. If you can find out how i do it," He went on. "everyone in Appleton, Wisconsin, will be richer by nightfall. "Seven-year-old Erich Weiss moved closer to the platform. He had watched the man do the trick three times. It couldn't be as easy as it looked. The magician must be doing something special, but Erich couldn't find out what it was.

Saint Pius x

Once upon a time there lived a boy called Bepi Sarto and he worked with his father in Riese carrying the village mail, also he wanted to receive holy communion at an early age (back then people received holy communion when they were 11 or 12 ,and when Pius X became pope, he made it so that children could receive Christ earlier). One day he became a priest and when he became a priest he worked until midnight also when he became pope he still worked until midnight and Mary del val encouraged the pope to rest more but it didn't work. This is the pope's tiara. This is the pope Pius X.

St. Benedict hero of the hills

Cyrilla was worried. Young master Benedict whose parents had sent him to study in the schools of Rome, was losing interest in his work. Only last night he had said that he didn't want to be a leader in law or politics. ________ St. Benedict and his monks built a church on Monte casino. One day a king (I forgot his name) came, and he tried to trick Benedict into thinking his knight was the king himself. But Benedict saw the him do it.
