Then answer each question.  \nThe Story of Regulus  \nOn the other side of the se a from Rome, there was once a great city named Carthage. The Roman people were never very friendly to the people of Carthage, and at last a war began between them . Fora long time, it was hard to tell which would prove the stronger. First the Romans would win a battle, and then the men of Carthage would win a battle; and so the war went on for many years.  \nAmong the Romans there was a brave general named Regulus,—a man of whom it was said that he never broke his word. It so happened after a while, that Regulus was taken prisoner and carried to Carthage. Ill and very lonely, he dreamed of his wife and little children so faraway beyond the se a; he had but little hope of ever seeing them again. He loved his home dearly, but he believed that his first duty was to his country ; and so he had left all to fight in this  \ncruel war.  \nHe had lost a battle, it is true, and had been taken prisoner. Yet he knew that the Romans were gaining ground, and the people of Carthage were afraid of being beaten in the end. They had gone into other countries to hire soldiers to help them , but, even with these soldiers, they would not be able to fight much longer against Rome.  \nOne day , some of the rulers of Carthage came to the prison to talk with Regulus.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \n“We would like to make peace with the Roman people,” they said, “ and we are sure that if your rulers at home knew how the war is going, they would be glad to make peace with us. We will set you free and let you go home, if you will agree to do as we say.”  \n“What is that?” asked Regulus.  \n“In the first place,” they said, “you must tell the Romans about the battles which you have lost, and you must  \nmake it plain to them that they have not gained anything by the war. In the second place, you must promise us that if they will not make peace, you will come back to your prison.”  \n“Very well ,” said Regulus. “I promise you that if they will not make peace, I will come back to prison .”  \nAnd so they let him go because they knew that a great Roman would keep his word.  \nWhen he came to Rome, all the people greeted him gladly. His wife and children were very happy because they thought that they would not be parted again. The white-haired Fathers who made the laws for the city came to see him . They asked him about the war.  \n“I was sent from Carthage to ask you to make peace,” he said . “However , it will not be wise to make peace. True , we have been beaten in a few battles, but our army is gaining ground every day. The people of Carthage are afraid, and they should be. Keep on with the war a little while longer, and Carthage shall be yours. As for me, I have come to bid my wife and children and Rome farewell . Tomorrow I will start back to Carthage and to prison as I have promised.”  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nThen the Fathers tried to persuade him to stay. “Let us send another man in your place,” they said.  \n“Shall a Roman not keep his word?” asked Regulus. “I am ill, and at the best, have not long to live. I will go back as I promised.”  \nHis wife and little children wept, and his sons begged him not to leave them again.  \n“I have given my word,” said Regulus. “The rest will be taken care of.”  \nThen he bade them goodbye and went bravely back to the prison and the cruel death which he expected.  \nThis was the kind of courage that made Rome the greatest city in the world.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nQuestions:  \n1.
