Starling and landlord

Once upon a time, that had a starling which could speak and understand what people said. He lived with a poor famer.
The first time they met was a day as he, the famer, went to plow and saw the starling who was injured and hid himself in plants. The famer brought the starling to his house to cure. The famer taught him to speak and let him known every thing he knew. The famer treated him very well. He said: “I have no child so I want you to become my son”. Because of that the famer had never caged the starling, he let him have free but the starling had never left.
That had a landlord who lived near their house. He was very rich that he sometime brought his golden bars out to bask. One day, the starling flew cross the landlord’s house he saw and immediately realized the golden bars were valuable things. He flew down and brought some bars away. He gave the golden bars to his father. From that time the famer had an easier life.
The landlord discovered that he lost some golden bars but he couldn’t find out who had done. He bask the golden bars on the roof and forced every one not to come nearly so none could go and take his bars away. At last he kept the thing in secret but still continued to find out. Another day, he bask the golden bars. The time, he hid himseft and observed. He didn’t need much time to see a starling who flew down and tried to steal his golden bars. Immediaely, he sprinted to catch the starling.
“Where is your house?”, asked the landlord.
“I live in forest”, answered the starling.
“Who asked you to steal my golden bars?”, asked the landlord.
“None”, answered the starling.
“Who you bring the bars to?”, asked the landlord.
“None, I drop them in forest.”  Answered the starling.
Felling angry because he didn’t find out any clue to find his lost golden bars. So, he asked his servants to make the starling o be bald to make sure that he starling would have a painful death. But, when they plucked the second feather the starling pretended that he died he fainted, laid his wings on the groud and didn’t move though they did any thing. The landlord asked his servant to throw the starling away. They threw him into bamboo trees. Short time later, the starling tried his best to stand and dragged himself to his house.
Few months later, a strange thing happened in a temple which stood in the village. Whenever people went in the temple they also heard a voice which spread from the Buddhist statue.
“This village will meet a great trouble. Call the landlord to come I want to meet him.”
People felt suspicious but when they heard the voice in second time they belived and sprinted to call the landlord. The landlord was frightened when he heard the news. He immediately wore nice clothes, asked his servants to bring a feast to come the temple. He stood on his knees when he went in the temple.
“You have to shave your head and live in the temple few month that will help you to get pass the trouble”, spread the voice from the Buddhist statue.
The landlord was made to sweat he didn’t dare to ask any thing. At last he asked others to shave his head, wore Buddhist clothes and lived in the temple to have Buddhist protecion.
One day, the voice, another time, spread and asked people to call the landlord to come. When people were kneeling the starling went out from he back of statue.
“Open your eyes and see what I am. I am not any Buddha. You should know I nearly die because of you and I only want to revenge.”, said the starling then he flew down the feast and pecked.
When the bald head of landlord went up and saw the thing he was very angry. He jumped and tried to catch the starling but he couldn’t. The starling had flown away before he could reach.
The end.🎭🎭🎭

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.

Scylla And Nisus

MINOS was the first king to control the Mediterranean Sea, which he cleared of pirates, and in Crete ruled over ninety cities. When the Athenians had murdered his son Androgeus, he decided to take vengeance on them, and sailed around the Aegean collecting ships and armed levies. Some islanders agreed to help him, some refused. Siphnos yielded to him by the Princess Arne, whom he bribed with gold; the gods changed her into a jackdaw which loves gold and all things that glitter. He made an alliance with the people of Anaphe, but rebuffed by King Aeacus of Aegina and departed, swearing revenge. Aeacus then answered an appeal from Cephalus to join the Athenians against Minos . b. Meanwhile, Minos was partying the Isthmus of Corinth. He laid siege to Nisa, ruled by Nisus the Egyptian, who had a daughter name Scylla. A tower stood in the city, built by Apollo [and Poseidon ?], an at its foot lay a musical stone which, if pebbles were dropped upon from above, rang like a lyre-because Ap...

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...
