Heroes through the ages :)

PUBLIUS  COCLES

A huge army of Etruscans was on its way to conquer Rome.
The Roman army was not prepared to face the invasion.
The citizens felt nervous.
"The enemy is approaching the bridge on the Tibes!" Someone came shouting, running into the city.
A narrow bridge was all that the invaders had to cross. When nobody knew what to do, one man sprang to his feet. With two of his friends following him, he stood at the head of the narrow bridge. "Go on dismantling the bridge! "
He shouted to his friends.
While the two friends worked tirelessly to destroy the bridge, COCLES stood resisting the invaders. He fought heroically even after being wounded....
"The Bridge is destroyed! !!" his friends cried from behind. And COCLES jumped into the river at once.
The enemy found it impossible to enter Rome without the bridge.
COCLES reached his city, safe.
Meanwhile, Romans were getting ready for a fight.
When the enemy army realised that,  it went back.



*NUMBER OF WE, IN 1s OR 100s NEVER MATTERED.
BUT,  FIGHTING SPIRIT DID !
