Slandered wife

Once upon a time, two silk traders, one was Ly and the other was Tinh, lived in two provinces but they used to meet the other in the town where they sold their silks. Therefore, they became familiarly after each meeting and then, they became best friends. 
One day, Ly invited Tinh and some traders to his home and treated them a meal. As they had drunk, they talked about women.
“Virgin is useless with me. I don’t think that a woman can be faithful with one man entire life. That is nonsense”, said one of them surely.
“Only a little money, some sweet words, I can make a woman though she is the most faithful woman fall down”, said Ly after that.
Tinh didn’t agree with their opinion. He said:
“I don’t think what you said is true. I have a beautiful and faithful wife. She is the best example for faithfulness”, said Tinh surely. But, people in the meal smirked they thought that Tinh was innocent. To prove what he had said was true, Tinh shouted:
“If any one of you can seduce my wife, I will gift the person entire my asset”, said Tinh.
Ly laughed and said in half joke.
“Do you dare?”, said Ly, “bet with me”.
Then Tinh wote a commitment immediately. The commitment wrote:
“If Ly can seduce my wife in a month, I will gift him whole my asset and if he can not, he has to gift me whole his asset in peaceful”.
Then they signed their names on the commitment front other traders’ eyes they were witnesses.
Then Ly followed Tinh to come his hometown. Tinh pointed his wife who was in market for Ly then he went back Ly’s hometown at one.
As Ly had saw Tinh’s wife, he approached her, followed her to wherever he came and gave her sweet words but all things he regained were curse words. At last, she had to ask guards to help her escape from Ly. Ly had no choice but to run.
The second time, Ly was pretended as a wealthy trader who found the way to come Tinh’s house and sold jewelries to the wife. After showed her beautiful jewelries, Ly started saying sweet words to seduce her.
“I am the luckiest person who can meet you, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen”, he approached her and muttered on her ear, “If you accept me, though that is only a time, all things here will belong to you”.
Her face turned solemn. She threw the ring which he was holding into his face and asked him to go.
The third time, Ly went to Tinh’s home in secret when people were sleeping. He sneaked to her room and pushed golden bars which he brought with him. He said:
“Don’t scare! I come here to help you not to be alone anymore”, said Ly.
He bent down to hug her but that moment she woke up and struggled. They wrestled with the other in the bed. Later, she escaped from his arms and kicked in his stomach. He felt down on ground and tried his best to stand up immediately to run.
Ly realized that seducing Tinh’s wife was a difficult work and it was real he couldn’t seduce her. But, one month nearly gone and he had signed his name on commitment paper. He felt worry. At last, he caught an idea. He found the way to find the woman who had cared of her mother as her mother gave birth to her. He gave the woman much money and asked about special things on her body. The greed woman was bribed by money. She said:
“She had a small mole under her navel”.
Then he came back his home and said Tinh that he had seduced his wife. As Ly said that she had a small mole under her navel, Tinh seemed to fall down he could thought any thing but his wife hat betrayed him. He gave Ly his assets and went toward his home, beat his wife painful and forced her to go away.
She was slandered suddenly and also was beaten by her husband that made her be angry, very angry. She thought she had to revenge and cleaned her name. One day, she saw Ly who was in market. She ran to him, grabbed his hair and scolded loudly. People who were standing around led them to a mandarin.
The mandarin asked:
“Why do you scold him in market?”
She answered the mandarin clearly.
“Dear sir, this man have borrowed me money. I because of trust didn’t ask him to sign his name on any paper. But, now when the date has come, I ask him for my money, he doesn’t give it to me”.
Ly smirked as she tried to slander him. he said:
“Sir, I can swear with all people here that I don’t know this woman”, he continued saying, “So, how can I borrow her money if I don’t know her”.
Then she said the mandarin and people about the bet he and her husband participated. She said them that her husband had lost his assets for him. At last, she turned to Ly and asked:
“If you don’t me. How can we sleep together?”
Ly was speechless. He couldn’t say anymore because he had admitted that he didn’t know her front many people and especially, front a mandarin. The mandarin judged Ly was a liar. Therefore, Ly had to give Tinh his assets. The greed woman had to live in prison the rest of her life because she had contravened ethics and helped Ly to destroy Tinh’s family.
The end.🎭🎭🎭

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
