Guns Germs and steel chapter response

We where living what we thought was a normal day. For me that means sitting on my royal throng. All of the sudden i heard a loud screaming outside my palace. Being a good ruler, i went to see what it was. My city was being attacked! There was nothing i could do. My people are kind and gentle, no need ever to fight. We had never been in a situation like this before, so we did not know how to respond. We lost many people that day. Because we are peaceful, we did not want to fight back. We have never had to fight for our lives before and did not know how.

Before i could give any commands, my people thought of their own ideas. They thought that if they put themselves in one huge pile(s) their problems would be solved. They thought that they would protect each-other. This was obviously not the case. Those on the bottoms of the mounds where suffocated or crushed by the weight. Those on the outside of the piles where killed. It was a loose loose situation. The only person that was fighting us who got injured was he who was next to one of the piles when one of the men fell off and landed on him. Now this man was LARGE. The man below him clearly had no chance.

That was what happened that tragic day my people where attacked.
