Chariot Races

I’m in the capital city of Rome .I  am on my way to the circus maximums  where there are chariot races. I am with Latin and he is one of the chariot racers. “So do you think you will win?’’  “yes I do. Replied Latin.

 The people have filled the stands. The Emperor has stood up and now he has dropped the stating cloth. There off! Green is in the lead but Red is catching up. Oh no! Red just smashed green. I am going to talk with the vet Pythus. “Is the horse all right Pythus?” Pythus muttered “No, he isn’t.  He tore his ligament.” “ I will go talk with Red.” I said. “Red why did you smash green?’’  Red rebuffed “I got paid to do it.” “Do you know who paid you?” “Yes’, I do. There names are Victor and Felix.” “How much did they pay you.” Red whispered  they paid me 50 coins.”  I will go to the Armey. They will throw them in prison because they have paid you to smash Latin.”  “I suggest  you go talk to Latin, Red.  I’ll go talk to the vet Pythus.” “Pythus , do you think the horse will live?” “I asked  breathlessly.  “Yes. I only know that those two loved each other. That horse was a hero. To him.”       Pythus stuttered. It has been a busy day here in Rome and that is our story we look forward to bringing you more next time.
