The Guilty Gladiator

In the days of the Roman Empire, there was one gladiator named Hell who
had a friend named Heaven. They were very good friends. They ate together;
when they fought together they supported each other; they did everything

together. However, they never fought against each other.
Then there was an announcement that there would be a battle, as gladiators
do from time to time, to amuse the Emperor and the people. Hell did not know

who he would be fighting against. When he got to the fighting court, a voice said,
“You will fight against Heaven!”

“Oh man!”
“It is O.K, I CAN FIGHT YOU!” Heaven said.
They fought, but Hell was better so when he was about to kill Heaven he

looked at the king and the king ordered him to kill Heaven. After he killed his
best friend, he could never eat or sleep, because he was feeling guilty.
So, on a bright day, he could not stand it anymore! Dreams of his friend

haunted him, so he decided to join his friend. There they joined hands forever.
