More About 1108
In 1108, life was quite hard. There were no cars or phones. People worked on farms and lived in small homes. They had to grow their own food.
Leap years help us keep track of time. If we did not have leap years, our seasons would be off. This means winter could be in summer!
Leap years come every four years. So, the next one after 1108 was in 1112. Each leap year helps us stay on track with the sun.
