                                   Lessons from History

 Remember when you were ten or eleven and your teacher or Sunday school teacher first exposed you to history? And later gave you a quiz?

           Two teachers in Ohio, over three years, compiled some answers from their 5th and 6th graders:

Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice.  They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock. Which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.

Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out, “Same to you, Brutus.”

Queen Elizabeth was the “Virgin Queen.” As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted “hurrah” and that was the end of the fighting for a long time.
