Imagine this situation. The school bully ( a really mean kid that could more than likely kick your butt at any moment) asks you to do his homework and pay for his lunch for the next two weeks. No teacher, administrator, or parent believes you. What do you do?

Now after weeks of doing his homework, you see the bully crying because he stumped his toe in the hall. Now what do you do?

The Germanic Tribes Vs. Rome

Germanic Tribes know

Rome can’t defend

itself …so what do

they do?

Some Germanic Tribes

start crossing into

Rome
