BR 1-12: Roman Adventure

I read a book “Roman Adventure” today. It was a story about adventure to ancient Rome. Now, I will tell you about story of this book.

One day, Biff and Chip were doing a project on the Romans. Biff made a chariot and Chip drew a picture. Mum and Dad looked at the project. Chip showed Mum his picture of a Roman chariot. The chariot was pulled by four horses. Biff showed Dad the model of chariot. Biff and Chip told Mum and Dad about Rome, and they played a joke on Biff and Chip. They play situation of supper. Kipper had some pizza, but Biff laughed that Romans didn’t have pizzas. Biff and Chip went to Biff’s room. Biff wanted to take the chariot to school, but she still had to painting. So they painted together. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The magic took Biff and Chip on a new adventure. The magic took the children back to Roman times. Biff and Chip saw a girl who was playing in the street. The girl took the children to show a real chariot. The girl was called Diana, she had a brother called Mark. He was a chariot driver. He showed his chariot to the children. It was like Biff’s model, but it was very big. Mark let Biff go on the chariot. Biff pretended she was a chariot driver. After they finished watching it, everyone was hungry so Diana took the children home. Her father is a baker, he was just making bread. The bread didn’t look right the day, it was flat. It didn’t look like bread at all. Diana’s father baked breads in the oven, but it was flat, too. They had a problem. Chip looked at the flat bread, and he had a good idea. Chip suggested that we turn the flat bread into pizza. Chip taught them how to make pizza and they made pizza together. The pizzas looked good and tasted good. They went outside to sell the pizzas at once, but there was nobody in the street because everyone went to see the chariot races. The children went to sell pizzas to chariot races place. As everyone was sold on the chariot races, they gave pizzas the cold shoulder. The children got Mark eaten pizza. Biff looked at the chariot and she had a good idea. She got Mark put a banner which was written “BUY A PIZZA”. Thanks to it, pizzas sold quickly. Just then, some soldiers grabbed the family and the children, and they took them to the Emperor. The emperor got angry because Biff made Mark put a banner on the chariot, but the emperor was happy as the emperor ate pizza. The emperor allowed them. Then the magic key began to glow and the children went back home.

I thought that this book seemed not to be interesting, but it was interesting. I first knew about chariot races. I wonder chariot race carry out now. If so, I want to watch it.
