More About siege
Long ago, armies would lay siege to cities. They wanted to take the city for their own. The people inside had to be smart to stay safe. They would hide food and water.
Sieges can change how people live. When a city is under siege, life is hard. People must work together to stay safe and find food.
Today, we still learn from sieges. They show us the need for peace. We want to solve problems without fighting.
