An image depicting Cato the Elder, a stern and respected Roman senator, passionately delivering a speech to a crowd of Roman citizens. He will be standing on a raised platform or within the Forum, gesturing emphatically with his hands. The crowd will appear attentive and engaged, some perhaps showing agreement or concern on their faces. The background will suggest ancient Rome, with classical architecture visible, and the overall atmosphere will convey the gravity and urgency of his famous declaration, "Carthago delenda est!" (Carthage must be destroyed!).

"Carthago delenda est!" Jaegyum declared, pumping his fist in the air.

Jaeyi giggled, covering his mouth with his hand. "Jaegyum, you're so funny! What was that? It sounded like a magic spell!"

"It's not a magic spell, silly! It's Latin!" Jaegyum puffed out his chest, looking very proud. "It means 'Carthage must be destroyed!'"

Jaeyi's eyes widened. "Carthage? Like in the story about Cato the Elder?"

"Exactly!" Jaegyum nodded emphatically. "I just read about him on that Study 53 blog that Teacher Kim told us about. It's really interesting!"

"Oh, the one with the ancient Roman stories?" Jaeyi tilted his head. "I looked at it too! Was Cato the one who always said Carthage should be destroyed, no matter what?"

"Yep, that's him!" Jaegyum sat down on the park bench. "The blog post said he was really old, but he was super dedicated to Rome. Even when they were talking about other things, he'd always end by saying 'Carthage must be destroyed!'"

"Wow, that's a bit intense," Jaeyi said, sitting next to him. "Why was he so obsessed with Carthage?"

"Well, the blog explained that Rome and Carthage were big rivals, like two popular kids in the same class who always compete," Jaegyum explained, trying to make it relatable. "They fought really big wars called the Punic Wars. Carthage was super powerful and rich, and Cato thought they were a big threat to Rome's future."

"So he believed Carthage was dangerous and had to be stopped for Rome to be safe?" Jaeyi summarized.

"Right! He thought if Carthage became strong again, they would attack Rome," Jaegyum added. "The blog said he was very persistent. He never gave up on his idea, even if other people were tired of hearing it."

"That's kind of admirable, in a way," Jaeyi mused. "He really cared about his country."

"Definitely! And you know what else?" Jaegyum leaned in conspiratorially. "The blog said his persistence actually worked! Rome did destroy Carthage in the end."

"So, his famous phrase became true!" Jaeyi exclaimed. "That's amazing! It's like if we keep practicing our English, we'll become super good at it, and then we can travel all over the world!"

Jaegyum grinned. "Exactly! 'English must be mastered!'" he declared, then laughed. "It's like Cato's famous saying, but for us!"

"That's a great way to think about it!" Jaeyi clapped his hands. "So, 'Carthago delenda est' means 'Carthage must be destroyed,' and it shows how important persistence is!"

"You got it!" Jaegyum gave him a thumbs up. "We should remember Cato when we feel like giving up on our homework or learning new English words. Just keep going, like him!"

"Okay! 'English must be mastered!'" Jaeyi repeated, a determined look on his face. "Thanks, Jaegyum! That story was really inspiring!"
