Aphrodite Oh, thank you Hephaestus, I will wear this necklace every day. Oh wait! Could you make me matching earrings? Yes? Thank you. Oh, I wish Zeus had chosen Ares for me. He was so afraid that the gods would fight over me that he quickly chose Hephaestus, the steadiest of gods, for me. He is a nice guy, don't get me wrong, but he can't walk!! He stepped in between Zeus and Hera while they were fighting and Zeus threw him down to earth. So, he built two golden robots to carry him around. Ares, can walk. He is the god of war. He is so strong and handsome; I don't know why I am the only goddess that loves him. But, that's their loss. Hephaestus is really good at making things like weapons. He makes me mountains of jewelry like he is trying to buy me. Oh well, I love the jewelry anyway. A few weeks ago, Hephaestus made me a sculptor to show his affection. It was beautiful but can't you just make me a mirror!! Anyway, Hermes brought her to life and named her Pandora. Then, Zeus gave her the box of bad things, and sent her to earth. She REALLY wants to open it! But, I don't think or I hope she is not, stupid enough to open it. Eros? EROS!! STOP IT THIS INSTINT!! There he goes making the wrong couple fall in love again. EROS GIVE ME YOUR ARROWS!! Yes, Hephaestus your son is misbehaving again! Ugh! Oh hello Ares, what? What?! PANDORA OPENED HER BOX?!?!?! DID SHE LET HOPE OUT?!?! SHE DIDN'T?!?! GET PANDORA NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eliza Hurst 6th Grade Mr. Fleissner Baylor School
The Legend of John Jameson Boom, boom went the stormy night sky. Lightning hit the ground, so fast as a shooting star. The thunder was as loud as a cannon. I remembered the legend of the ghost that lived here. It all started in 1901. In 1901 the day John Jameson was killed in a abandon house in the dark black woods. The legend says that John got mad at the people in the town for destroying his house and building other homes over his. So he was mad the people living in the homes as well. Every night there where complaints of a strange man walking around in peoples homes. Someone has identified the ghost as a tall man with a brown coat, a black hat, and brown pants. People say that their lights turn on and off by themselves and a man has been spotted by the windows. A child was home alone and thought he seen his father in the hallway. When he walked up to the figure the man disappeared. John has been mistaken as a lot of things. No one has ever seen him up close, but Corey Brown, a grad student from the University of Wyoming, was a friendly man once you get to know him. Corey was locking up the house one stormy night when he heard a noise coming from upstairs, in the guestroom. Corey slowly creped up the stairs. When he entered the guestroom, Corey felt a cold chill in the room and it seemed to go right through him and make the hair on the back of his neck stand up. The room was a mess. Pictures where all crooked, the bed was messed up, the dresser drawers where pulled out. Nothing was stolen. None of the doors or windows were broken, but as Corey checked 230
