Sister, join us.
:47:03
I've been reading to dear Lucius.
:47:06
- I've been reading too.
- Yes.
:47:08
He's a very clever little boy.
He'll make a grand emperor one day.
:47:13
We've been reading about the great
Mark Antony and his adventures in Egypt.
:47:17
And the queen killed herself
with a snake.
:47:19
And just wait until you hear
what happened to our ancestors.
:47:23
If you're very good, tomorrow night I'll
tell you the story of Emperor Claudius.
:47:28
He was betrayed...
:47:31
by those closest to him...
:47:35
by his own blood.
:47:38
They whispered in dark corners...
:47:40
and went out late at night...
:47:42
and conspired...
:47:45
and conspired.
:47:48
But the Emperor Claudius knew
that they were up to something.
:47:52
He knew they were
busy little bees.
:47:57
And one night he sat down
with one of them...
:48:00
and he looked at her...
:48:03
and he said...
:48:06
"Tell me what you've been doing...
:48:09
busy little bee...
:48:13
or I shall strike down
those dearest to you.
:48:17
You shall watch
as I bathe in their blood."
:48:23
And the emperor was heartbroken.
:48:27
The little bee
had wounded him more deeply...
:48:30
than anyone else
could ever have done.
:48:34
What do you think
happened then, Lucius?
:48:38
I don't know, Uncle.
:48:46
The little bee
told him everything.
