{"product_id":"2940014918671","title":"The Baker Boys and the Bees: A German Historical Tale","description":"Long years ago many cities were built high on a hill. They had great stone walls around them that stood as tall as three or four men. The walls were built to keep out enemies. \u003cbr\u003eIn those old days cities were each ruled by a different king or lord. These cities often went to war with one another. Each lord wanted more and more land, so he would try to capture the cities that were nearby.\u003cbr\u003eThe city of Andernach was a city like this. It sat high on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley. It also had one of these great walls around it.\u003cbr\u003eThere was only one gateway into the city. This gateway was guarded by strong iron doors. Just behind the doors lived a gatekeeper, who did nothing but open and shut the gates. He kept the gates closed unless someone wanted to come in. Then he made sure that whoever wanted to come in was friendly before he would open the gates.\u003cbr\u003eHe watched the gates well. No one could come in who was not friendly to the city.\u003cbr\u003eNow it happened that, not far away, there was another walled city, named Lintz. The people of Lintz were the enemies of the people of Andernach.\u003cbr\u003eThey were always watching each other, and fought when they could get a chance. They would fight for any reason, big or small.\u003cbr\u003eNow the people of Lintz planned to attack and capture the city of Andernach. They wanted to make the people of Andernach their slaves.\u003cbr\u003eThey called their wisest men together to see how the attack should be made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind out what happens when the people of Lintz attack the people of Andernach.\u003cbr\u003eAges 7 and up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearningIsland.com believes in the value of children practicing reading for 15 minutes every day.
