Tale of Ba Be lake

Once upon a time, at a village where people followed Buddha very hard, one day people held a festival for their Buddha to pray what they wish. Suddenly, an ugly woman nobody knew where she came appeared at the festival. She was wearing torn clothes that couldn’t cover her body was sore and emanated a disgusting smell that filled up all people’s nostrils when they passed her so they went away her but the poor woman trudged toward everyone and said with a weak voice:  “Sir, goddess sir, could you give me something to eat, please. I am so hungry, please!”

But until afternoon she had not been given anything. All where she had come people had expelled her especially young girls that they thought she had leprosy so they had dodged her. People who were participating the festival were angry, so they roared at her. At last, guards appeared and forced her away the festival. She left and swept to deep village in which people also forced her away. She went to intersection and approached to a woman and her daughter who immediately felt sorry the poor woman and gave her a ball rice to eat.
At that night, when the woman and her daughter were sleeping they heard a knock on their door. They opened the door and saw the poor woman who talked them to sleep in their house because nobody let her to go in their home. The husbandless woman let her in and lie on her hammock then she anh the child spread their mat on the ground to lie.
Midnight, they were woken up by thunder voice snore. They looked around to find out what happen and then: “Omg, front their face, now, that is a long gigantic dragon. It is lying on their hammock, hissing loudly”
They were frightened so that they didn’t dare to call any help, pulled over their blanket and kept themselves silent and prayed the God would save their lives. But next morning when they woke up they was unbelievable on their eyes that which on the hammock was poor woman who was going to leave. After left, she had said coldly:
 “They, followed Buddha but they have no compassion. They will be punished.” “About you two, you are kind so I give you the pocket of ashes you have to drop it around your home or go up to mountain, before tonight that will save your lives” she added gently
“How can I save others?” asked the woman

They thought the Buddha was going to appear and felt happier but the water was tronger and stonger until that place had been flooded they was going to leave but in the meanwhile the ground on their feet was splitting, shaking and fell down. Then all of them were sinking in the water, yelling. This sight was horrible. Felling sorry to them, the woman and her daughter putted the peel and putted it on water. Immediately, it transformed into 2 boat. They jumped on the boats rowed toward people who was swimming in the water and saved their life,

Gorgon

In Greek mythology, a Gorgon  is a mythical creature portrayed in ancient Greek literature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not and she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus. The large Gorgon eyes, as well as Athena 's "flashing" eyes, are symbols termed "the divine eyes" by Gimbutas (who did not originate the perception); they appear also in Athena's sacred bird, the owl. They may be represented by spirals, wheels, concentric circles, swastikas, firewheels, and other images. Anyone who would gaze into their eyes would be turned to stone instantly.

Paris And Helen

WHEN Helen, Leda’s beautiful daughter, grew to womanhood at Sparta in the palace of her foster-father Tyndareus, all the princes of Greece came with rich gifts as her suitors, or sent their kinsmen to represent them. Diomedes, fresh from his victory at Thebes, was there with Ajax, Teucer, Philoctetes, Idomeneus, Patroclus, Menestheus, and many others. Odysseus came too, but empty-handed, because he had not the least chance of success-for, even though the Dioscuri, Helen’s brothers, wanted her to marry Menestheus of Athens, she would, Odysseus knew, be given to Prince Menelaus, the richest of the Achaeans, represented by Tyndareus’s powerful son-in-law Agamemnon. b. Tyndareus sent no suitor away, but would, on the other hand, accept none of the proffered gifts; fearing that his partiality for any one prince might set the others quarrelling. Odysseus asked him one day: ‘If I tell you how to avoid a quarrel will you, in return, help me to marry Icarius’s daughter Penelope?’ ‘It...

Sisyphus

SISYPHUS, son of Aeolus, married Atlas ’s daughter Merope, the Pleiad, who bore him Glaucus , Ornytion , and Sinon, and owned a fine herd of cattle on the Isthmus of Corinth. b. Near him lived Autolycus , son of Chione , whose twin-brother Philammon was begotten by Apollo , though Autolycus himself claimed Hermes as his father. c. Now, Autolycus was a past master in theft, Hermes having given him the power of metamorphosing whatever beasts he stole, from horned to unhorned, or from black to white, and contrariwise. Thus although Sisyphus noticed that his own herds grew steadily smaller while those of Autolycus increased, he was unable at first to accuse him of theft; and therefore, one day, engraved the inside of all his cattle’s hooves with the monogram SS or, some say, with the words ‘Stolen by Autolycus’. That night Autolycus helped himself as usually and at dawn hoof-prints along the road provided Sisyphus with sufficient evidence to summon neighbours in witness of the th...
