Oh my goodness! Did you hear what happened to Caesar? Some of his closest friends killed him right on the floor of the senate. I heard that it was all because Cassius was jealous. I couldn't believe it but I heard that Brutus was involved too. I can't believe it. I love Caesar so much. I wonder if he loves me too.
