If you look the map of Britain, you’ll see two islands. In the old days, a long, long time , these were in the same place and stormy sea roared round them, just as it roars now. But the sea was not alive, then, with great ships and brave sailors sailing and from all parts of world. The people living there knew of the rest of the world and the rest of the world knew nothing about them. Once some ancient people came in ships to islands and found that they produce tin and lead. They traded with the Britons for these metals and gave other useful things in exchange.
At that time the whole country covered with forests. The greater part of it was misty and cold. The Britons planted little corn but they could make clothes and clever in basketwork. Such were the conditions of life of the Britons when the Romans came late summer morning of the year 55 B.C.
