Tale of monkey

Long time ago, in a village where a girl working as a maid lived. She not only was forced to work hardly but also was mistreated. Although she had been 20 years old, her body was bone, ugly, tiny like a monkey because she didn’t get enough food to eat.

tale of monkey
One day, her master had a luxurious party in which so many people participated. Therefore, people gave her buckets and ordered her to provide water for the party. That's a big party and needed a lot of water. But, she had to do it alone. She had to go to rivershore, take water then bring back home in hurry then turn back the shore to take more water. It's so hard. At tenth time, she felt so tired so she had stayed by the lake for minutes. She burst in sobs because of that she deplored herself. Mean time, Buddha appeared as an old man with silver hair and beard. He went up to her and requested a little water. Although she was tired, she was willing to take water from lake and gave him. After drinking, he asked her to have something to eat. She talked politely him waiting there and went up to home. After putting her helping into bucket, she came back to the lake where the old man was waiting for her, gave him the helping and said: “I only received this bowl of burnt-rice, it may help you to relive your hunger."
After eating, he said “Why did you cry?”
She bowed her head and didn’t say.
“I am the Buddha” he added “Because of your kindness, I will gift you a wish”.
She was both surprise and happy so she talked him about her whole hope. He realized her wish wanting to be beautiful so he said her that she had to went down to well and took whatever flowers she thought it was beautiful and ate their floral honey so she would receive what she want. Following his words, she only took white flowers and ate their floral honey. When she came back lakeside, she realized she not only had become beautiful but also her clothes had transformed into luxurious clothes.
When she took water came back home, all people of her master was surprised about that she had become a beautiful girl nobody could realize. She talked to them whole story. Immediately, all of them went up to the lake to meet Buddha and could wish what they want. They saw the Buddha was still sitting by the lake so all sprinted toward the Buddha and invited him to eat their meals. The Buddha said them as he had said the girl. All of them thought that red flowers was more beautiful than white flowers so the took red flower and ate their floral honey but when they was back on lakeside they was not only not younger but also older. Their skins became wizen, hairy. Horribly, a tail had grown up from their back.
When other people saw them some of them yelled”Runnn…, There are monters”but others roared: “kill all them”.
 Immediately, they grabbed sticks, stones and chased the monsters. Being frightened, the monsters ran toward forest, left their patrimony for the girl. They hid themselves in deep forest, ate fruit to live but still had wanted to regain their assets. They came back their home, knocked on doors, yelled every night until sunrise. The girl and are were frightened so they closed their door very tight. They spread shrimp paste on their doors and set many red-heated surround their door. When the monsters came, they knock on door and were stuck shrimp paste they swept their hand on their body so that made them so stinky. Walking backward, they sat front the door but when they had sat the plow-shares heated their ass. Painfully, they yelled and ran toward forest and had never come back.
Today, we know them as monkeys. They have red asses because of that they had heated by plowshares. Still being frightened, they always hide themselves from human.
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...
