| In
the Olympic games, the
Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The
reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athen was
democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There
were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they
couldn't
see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians,
the Greeks were outnumbered because the Parisians had more men. |

Pharoah
forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to
the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made
without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to
get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing
the liar. He fought with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived
in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500
porcupines.

Without
the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds
of columns -- Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth
is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles appears in
"The Illiad", by Homer. Homer also wrote the "Oddity," in which
Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey.
Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of
that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around
giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an
overdose of wedlock.
