罗马故事

章节摘录

版权页：One day Caesar and some friends were on a journey. A storm burst forth, and, looking round for shelter, they spied a poor man's hut. To this they ran. There was only one room in the dwelling, and only space to take in one of the strangers. It is assumed that the owner of the hut was himself present.One of Caesar's party, named Oppius, was taken ill. To Caesar, as the person of highest rank, the bed in the hut was given, for it was obvious that the travelers could not fare any further that night, as the stormed howled. But Caesar yielded his place to the sick man, and he himself, with the rest of his companions, slept under a shed that stood outside the cottage. Thus did Caesar show his belief that it is the duty of the strong to help the weak.When a battle was to be fought Julius Caesar did not stand in an easy place while his soldiers bore the burden of war. In his campaign in Gaul he was surprised by a sudden rush of nearby Swiss tribe. Very hastily the Roman army drew itself into close array, and faced the enemy. A page brought Caesar's horse,but he would not mount.
