Tale of broom

Once upon a time, a woman who worked as a chef in kitchen in the heaven was a great chef. She could made delicious cakes which made everyone who had tasted them would never forget their taste. The king of heaven let her manage the kitchen but she was greedy and often tasted dishes before the king though that was forbidden thing. She always tried to steal food in warehouse of heaven.
Tale of broom
She fell in love with a herdsman in heaven. Herding in heaven was also miserable as in the ground so he very liked alcohol and delicious dishes after he fell in love with the woman.
About the woman, she loved him more than every thing existing. Whenever the man wanted to eat she always had no demur to take a little from king’s dishes to give him. That thing had happened few times. Something, she also led him to go in wine vault and let him drank delightfully. But that thing had never been detected.
One day, the king had a party that made she had to work hard. All dishes had to have finished before nightfall. At last, all things were ready. While she was putting dishes on tables she heard the herdsman sang. Immediately, she knew the man found her. She took a little from party dishes then gave him. She also gave him few cup of wine then she came back to cook desserts, marzipan. But after he bathed horses he thought about sweet dishes and delicious wine were in the kitchen he felt hungry. Therefore, he sneaked in the kitchen. In the dark, he grabbed a bottle of wine and gulped. That wine was so great but it made him dizzy he needed something to eat and he went toward dished was placed nearby which were radiating sweet aroma. He took them by his hands and ate until his stomach was full of food.
When soldiers took dishes came up the party all dishes was tasted that made the king was so angry. He shouted loudly that made every one be scared. The party became an unhappy party.
The woman bowed his head and admitted her fault. She and the herdsman were transformed into brooms which every day had to sweep filth in kitchen in the ground all their lives. That was worst punishment.
Long time later, they lamented that they had to work hard without rest. The king of heaven felt pity them then he let them rest three days which is three days beginning of year. Therefore, all people in Vietnam don’t use brooms in three days beginning of year (Tet holidays).

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

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

THE DETHRONEMENT OF CRONUS

CRONUS married his sister Rhea , to whom the oak is sacred. But it was prophesied  by Mother Earth , and by his dying father Uranus, that one of his own sons would dethrone him. Every year, therefore, he swallowed the children whom Rhea bore him: first Hestia , then Demeter and Hera , then Hades , then Poseidon . b. Rhea was enraged. She bore Zeus , her third son, at dead of night on Mount Lycaeum in Arcadia, where no creature casts a shadow and, having bathed him in the River Neda, gave him to Mother Earth; by whom he was carried to Lyctos in Crete, and hidden in the cave of Dicte on the Aegean Hill. Mother Earth left him there to be nursed by the Ash- nymph Adrasteia and her sister Io, both daughters of Melisseus, and by the Goat-nymph Amaltheia. His food was honey, and he drank Amaltheia's milk, with Goat-Pan , his foster- brother. Zeus was grateful to these three nymphs for their kindness and, when he became  Lord of the Universe, set Amaltheia's image among
