Thud! “Where is that annoying cat?” said Yamuna. Namuni dropped the pot of dates he was holding. “Sorry, Mom,” Namuni said with her mouth full of dates.
Namuni was a girl with emerald green eyes who lived in Egypt in 3000 BC. She had long golden hair, and was white as white chocolate.

Yamuna said, shocked, “Namuni, I told you, no sneaking around! Now look what you’ve done.” Namuni said she was sorry for breaking the pot of dates.
“Someone’s at the door!”, screamed Yamuri, Namuni’s father, and opened the door. Avani, her friend was at the door. “Come everyone, Queen Cleopatra is announcing a new law,” Avani explained.
Everyone in the village was outside the Queen’s palace. Cleopatra announced, “I have made a new rule: no girl can go outside their house without a man with by her side.”
“What?! No way!”, murmured Namuni to Avani. After going home, she screamed, “I hate Cleopatra and her arrogant rules!”
“I think we need to change this rule,” Avani said.
“But how?” said Namuni, puzzled.
“You think about it. I have to go, it’s very late. Bye!” Avani said and escaped.
The next day, Avani and Namuni made a group of all the people who disliked the new rule. They were mostly women. “Everyone, I have an idea. Let’s break the rule first.” Namuni whispered. They began their work immediately.
Queen Cleopatra heard some loud shouting outside her palace, so she went out. “What happened?” she asked.
“Quit the new rule!” a woman from the group shouted. All the people began protesting against the rule and convinced Cleopatra.
“I thought the rule was good, but it’s not. I’m sorry,” she said, crying.
All the Egyptians chanted, “ALL HAIL QUEEN CLEOPATRA.”
