In World War Ⅱ, a large and strong German army marched (行军) to France for making a war against
the Frenchmen. The Frenchmen, a brave group of people, loved their own country deeply. They put their
hearts into fighting hard to drive their enemies out of France. But it looked as if the German army would
win the war because there were so many Germans in the battle.
One night, the leader of the Frenchmen was forced to withdraw (撤退) his soldiers to the top of a tall
building after a dissatisfactory war. "We will have a rest here tonight, my men," he said, "Tomorrow we
will fight one more serious battle. We must win or we will all die." At that time, they were all so tired that
they soon fell asleep after they ate their supper quickly. There were only four guards on duty. But they
were also very exhausted and fell asleep one by one.
The foxy Germans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the building. Slowly they went
up the building carefully making no noise. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Frenchmen. They
almost reached the top. The war would be over a few minutes later. Suddenly, an earthquake shook and the
building was destroyed right away. Most soldiers of both sides fell down and were buried under the useless
pieces of the building. Terribly, the war ended with an unbelievable result.
