There was once a famous ruler of Tartary whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he wished to become the master of the whole world. So he raised a great army and made war against other countries. He conquered many kings and burned many cities.
But at last his army was beaten; his men were scattered; and Tamerlane fled alone from the field of battle.
