How did geese save Rome?

According to legend, this incredible event took place in the fourth century BC. In the north of Italy lived barbarians – Gauls, who fought with the Empire of Rome. Once, the Gauls decided to attack the capital – Rome. They went to Capitol Hill. At this time, the guards were fast asleep and heard absolutely nothing. The dogs also made no sounds. But the local geese stepped in and began to cackle, making noise with their cries. Instantly everyone woke up and defended the city from the barbarians, and after that incident, the geese respected.
