Kaylee, Brittnie, Paige __ Twins __ Have you ever wondered why we have twins? Well, here is what Zeus would tell you. One Thursday, Zeus met this beautiful young lady, Tara, at the clear crystal river. They started talking for a while and got serious in their relationship. After their romantic day at the river, they decided they were going to meet up again next Thursday. After meeting up every Thursday for about nine months, they started talking about getting married. They were so excited and relived. At exactly one year, Zeus finally proposed to her on that Thursday at the crystal river. She looked shocked for a while, then finally a few minutes later said yes! They decided they were going to get married in three months. The day of their wedding she realized that it was on a Thursday. After they got married, they talked a little bit about having kids. That night her stomach grew bigger, and bigger every day. A week later she was surprised that she had twins under a willow tree by the crystal river on that Thursday afternoon. A month later she found out she was pregnant again, she had the second sets of twins on Thursday. The Greeks now assume that if you get married on a Thursday, you will have twins on a Thursday.

Bethany G. & Clayton S.   Mrs.Michals 6th 11-4-10   __ Why Fish Have Gills __ One day a mortal named Caleb, showed up at the beach wanting to fish. While he was setting up a god named Poseidon swam by. He asked him what he was doing. Caleb responded “fishing, duh!” Poseidon got enraged and he said ‘’fish are friends NOT FOOD.’’ Caleb and Poseidon got in a fight. Eventually Poseidon got bored and left telling Caleb to not fish again. For Caleb it went through one ear and out the other and he continued to fish. The next day Caleb was fishing again. Poseidon woke up to one of his best friends yelling in his ear “HELP US!!!!!!” (his friend was a fish). Poseidon said “What’s wrong and why are you yelling?” A fisherman got Shells! He’s dragging him up to the beach. Poseidon hopped out of bed and went straight for the spot where he had encountered Caleb. Caleb was standing there holding Shells with one hand and a knife in the other. Shells was screaming ‘’don’t do it’’. Caleb was cutting in his lungs, and then he threw Shells in the ocean. Poseidon was about to jump in to save Shells when he realized that there were about 50 fish already in the water and he couldn’t save them all.

Poseidon didn’t know what to do, so he did the first thing that came to his mind. He made all the fish grow gills so they could breath in the water. So they wouldn’t die, but he accidently made them grow permanent gills. So now fish have gills and can’t live on land again, because of Caleb.

Maegan Hall and Edward Rodriguez __ Why Summer? __   Have you ever wondered why summer is so hot? We think this is what the gods would say. Once long ago Hephaestus, God of fire and metal had a temple called Vulcan. Hephaestus has a ball every summer in his temple. Every year his servants make a list of all the people who are invited to his ball. His servants came to him and asked him who he wanted to come to the ball this summer. Hephaestus said this” Invite whoever you like ,but whatever you do don’t invite Zeus and his people.” Well all his servants went out to give the invatations ,but one of the servants forgot and invited Zeus and his mortal servant John. The next night was the ball. Zeus and John were the last to show up. They looked around and said “Wow,Vulcan has become much more beuatiful then the last time we were here.” As the night went on Zeus was getting jealous of the magnificent temple. So he decided he was going to steal it. While everyone was leaving the ball Zeus and John hid inside the temple curtains they waited until everyone had gone to sleep and they killed the gards and threatened to kill Hephaestus if he moved. Zeus told John to take the temple to Mount olympus where Zeus lived.After John took the palace to Mount olypus he realized what he did was wrong,but he realized he couldn’t give it back to Hephaestus because Zeus would then kill him .After a lot of thinking he decided to just tear it down. So John got together an army and they smashed it to pieces. When Zeus and Hephaestus found out what happened John had fled to a faraway place .And now when summer comes around and it’s the time of the ball Zeus and Hephaestus then show how angry they are and Hephaestus blows up all the volcanoes underground and that is why summer is so hot.
