WIN) You run toward the bear with your shovel raised up high! The enraged animal is just about to pounce on the frightened worker. Whammm! You bring the shovel down with full force on the bear’s skull! The bear turns tail and runs away down the length of the aqueduct. The Roman worker turns to you and gives you a hug. “You saved my life! Jupiter be praised!” he cries. As the two of you walk slowly back toward the rest of the work crew, you carefully watch your back. Wow! Being a hero isn’t easy! Maybe someday you will be the next Hercules.
THE END
