HOW NAPOLEON CROSSED THE ALPS

ABOUT a hundred years ago there lived a great general
whose name was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was the leader of the
French army; and France was at war with nearly all the countries
around. He wanted very much to take his soldiers into Italy; but
between France and Italy there are high mountains called the
Alps, the tops of which are covered with snow.
"Is it possible to cross the Alps?" said Napoleon.
The men who had been sent to look at the passes over the
mountains shook their heads. Then one of them said, "It may be
possible, but"—
"Let me hear no more," said Napoleon. "Forward to Italy!"
People laughed at the thought of an army of sixty thousand
men crossing the Alps where there was no road. But Napoleon
waited only to see that everything was in good order, and then
he gave the order to march.
The long line of soldiers and horses and cannon stretched
for twenty miles. When they came to a steep place where there
seemed to be no way to go farther, the trumpets sounded
"Charge!" Then every man did his best, and the whole army
moved right onward.
Soon they were safe over the Alps. In four days they were
marching on the plains of Italy.
"The man who has made up his mind to win," said
Napoleon, "will never say 'Impossible.' "

GLOSSARY

thought = tanke
cannon = kanoner

Translate into Danish:

The soldiers did not like to go to war, but they did it, because it was
an order. Being on the battle fields was no fun – they all missed
their wives and children, and some of their best friends even got
killed by the enemy. Never the less they all knew that they had to
fight for their country.
