1. At midnight I heard a great
uproar. What was the cause of this uproar? Oxen were pulling wagons through the
streets with a loud noise. At first the noise was far away; then the uproar was
in our street.
2. We do many things with our
hands. Eucleides was holding a pen in (his) hand, for he was teaching the boys
to write. The boys had climbed trees. before with (their) hands and feet.
Therefore their hands were dirty. Eucleides ordered them to wash (their) hands
at once.
3. For many days we were staying in the
country house. However, the day of return (the day for us.to return) came. It
was necessary to make a three days' journey, because we wanted to return to the
city very quickly. On that day we departed. For two days we were journeying
along the Appian Way. On the third day we arrived at Rome.
4. Titus told us a strange story. A
slave, who was walking through the streets of the city at night, suddenly fled
terrified. What was the cause of this thing? In the street he had met a dog
that, as he himself said, had three heads. We often read about such things in
books, but never have we ourselves seen such a thing. About this incident all
the citizens tell many stories.
