A Ballad of Stonehenge

Three thousand years before Christ

was a child,

England was beautiful, young and

wild.There were people, forests and rivers

there,And the magic stones hung in the air.

The people who brought them were

strong and brave,

And under these stones they found

their graves.

Where did they come from? Where

did they go?

Who were those people? We’ll never

know.

Was it a temple? An ancient god’s

house?Was it a compass for friends from the

stars?They built it five thousand years ago,

But why did they do it? We’ll never

know.

Now those days are gone and the

people are gone,

But the midsummer sunrise still

shines on the stone.

And the midwinter sunset still comes

with the rain,

And Stonehenge greets them on

Salisbury Plain.

These people lived about 5,000 years ago when the wonders of the world were being built. Look at the picture. Some things are wrong. Can you find them? How many?

Think and answer the questions. The pictures will help you

What did people eat 5,000 years ago?

I think they used to …

1. How did people cook?

2. What did they drink?

3. Where did they live?

4. How did they travel?

5. How did people enjoy themselves?

6. What toys did children enjoy 5,000 years ago?

Would you like to live at that time? Why? Why not?

Certainly, we would. We would like to live at that time because the air was fresh and there were no

traffic jams.

No, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t like to live at that time because there were neither computers nor mobile phones.

Imagine one of the Seven Wonders of the world could have

been saved from destruction. Which one would you choose to

save and why?
