Speaker 3: you haven't said anything for a while, aren't you excited?
Speaker 1: Well, it's just a bunch of old stuff, right, what's
Speaker 1: there to be excited about? Even the tour guide seems bored.
Speaker 4: Yes, and over here we have a chariot wheel thousands
Speaker 4: of years old from the ancient Roman Empire. It's said
Speaker 4: to have belonged to the chariot of Gaius Appalaias Diocles,
Speaker 4: and the rumor is that if you spin it, you
Speaker 4: feel like you're truly back in ancient Rome. Okay, let's
Speaker 4: move on.
Speaker 1: Like I said, boring, want to spin?
Speaker 5: What's the cheeriot wheel? Lisa?
Speaker 3: Yes, Billy, come on, Cowie, take my hand.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, what's happening.
Speaker 5: You've got to do hard?
Speaker 1: No, this is something else. What, guys, where does the
Speaker 1: museum go?
Speaker 3: Where are we and why is everyone wearing bed cheetes
Speaker 3: instead of clothes?
Speaker 6: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we
Speaker 6: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the
Speaker 6: fun of play learning. Today we're examining ancient Rome one
Speaker 6: of the greatest civilizations of all time, and it looks
Speaker 6: like the Lingo kids gang are going to get a
Speaker 6: clue close look at what life was like.
Speaker 4: A long time ago.
Speaker 5: I think I think we've gone back in time.
Speaker 1: Wait, what do you mean we've gone back in time?
Speaker 6: Well, Cowie, judging by our surroundings, I'd say this is
Speaker 6: ancient Rome.
Speaker 5: So exactly how far back have we gone?
Speaker 6: Oh, I'd say maybe a couple thousand years.
Speaker 5: A couple thousand.
Speaker 1: But does this mean we won't get the pizza lunch? Well, Cawie.
Speaker 6: In ancient Rome, pizza hadn't even been invented yet.
Speaker 5: No pizza, that's right.
Speaker 6: Ancient Romans normally had meals with grains, vegetables, eggs.
Speaker 5: And cheese.
Speaker 1: And what about dessert?
Speaker 5: Good question, Cowie.
Speaker 6: They did like sweet things, but it was usually fruits
Speaker 6: and honey that made the sweetness for their t Do
Speaker 6: you smell that?
Speaker 1: Mm, smells like something delicious?
Speaker 5: They look like little fruit tarts?
Speaker 4: Should we try so?
Speaker 1: Of course?
Speaker 5: My tarts are the greatest in all of Rome.
Speaker 3: Dum delicious spectacular.
Speaker 5: I can see you are new around here.
Speaker 1: Well that will be too Arius, Please, um, no gold
Speaker 1: on you huh, all right.
Speaker 5: Silverdonarreas will do. We don't have that either, Bronze quadrants.
Speaker 6: In ancient Rome, they didn't have money like we have today.
Speaker 6: Their cheapest money was bronze and the most expensive was gold.
Speaker 1: But don't have any of that, mister tartfinder, sir.
Speaker 5: No money. Huh.
Speaker 6: Well, how about you all help me make tarts for
Speaker 6: a while and we'll consider you all paid up.
Speaker 1: Sure can't try them while we make it.
Speaker 5: Of course, that's the best part. Wow, look at the lines.
Speaker 5: We must be doing something right.
Speaker 1: Well, we should probably be on our way now, see
Speaker 1: you layer, nice joke.
Speaker 6: Cowie, Billy says, that's the spirit.
Speaker 5: Cowie, excuse me, he that he's talking to you. Cowi
Speaker 5: me is man sculpt you.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for the emperor, but he had to cancel,
Speaker 1: and I don't want this great chunk of marble to
Speaker 1: go to waste. You're going to make that rock look
Speaker 1: like me.
Speaker 6: He's going to chisel it, Cowi. Ancient Romans had some
Speaker 6: of the best sculptors in the world. They can take
Speaker 6: stone marble and make it look exactly like you.
Speaker 1: But why me, your features are fascinating and this incredible
Speaker 1: purple toga.
Speaker 5: You must tell me who died it for you? My dress,
Speaker 5: my mom just bought it like this.
Speaker 6: In the old days, colors and clothing weren't so easy
Speaker 6: to find. People had to make their own dyes in
Speaker 6: order to have clothing a different color, and even then
Speaker 6: it was expensive.
Speaker 1: Oh, let's do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nice job.
Speaker 3: Wow, the buildings here are so amazing.
Speaker 6: Look at that one. That's the Colisseum, one of the
Speaker 6: most famous buildings in ancient Rome.
Speaker 5: Was that why?
Speaker 3: The chariot races of chariot races.
Speaker 6: Just like at the museum. They were races where people
Speaker 6: stood on wagons pulled by really fast horses.
Speaker 2: Yes, and one of the greatest chariot racers is racing today,
Speaker 2: mister sculptor, sir.
Speaker 3: Would this great racer happen to be guyas Apolis Diogolus?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: How did you know? You guys? I think I just
Speaker 5: figured out how to get back.
Speaker 3: To the museum, Thanks, mister sculptor, Sir, Elliott, where are
Speaker 3: we going? That's the guy who's will we spun to
Speaker 3: go back in time?
Speaker 5: If we spin it again, maybe we'll end up back
Speaker 5: at the museum.
Speaker 1: Wait, idea, Elliott.
Speaker 5: Look very it is.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: He's amazing.
Speaker 1: He's finishing the reason bull of his chariot.

Speaker 5: Come on, Cowie, hold my hand and hang on.
Speaker 2: Tell you everyone, and over here we happened.
Speaker 3: We made it back, and it looks like no one
Speaker 3: even knew we were gone.
Speaker 4: Now, this particular sculpture has puzzled historians for thousands of years.
Speaker 4: It is the.
Speaker 5: Only one of its kind.
Speaker 4: It seems to be a sculpture of a cow wearing
Speaker 4: a dress. But I suppose we'll never know what the
Speaker 4: sculptor intended.
Speaker 1: I think I know.
Speaker 6: Well, that's it for this episode. Today we learned a
Speaker 6: lot about ancient Rome, but we also learned it's important
Speaker 6: not to judge things that we don't completely understand. Sometimes,
Speaker 6: if we study the past, we're able to be thankful
Speaker 6: for what we have in the present. Thanks for taking
