Do you want to know about the ancient times of Greece and Rome?  Well, they had many interesting myths, gods, and temples.

 

They had myths about the beginning of things.  In the beginning, Father Chaos and Mother Night had a child named Mother Earth.  She had a son named Unronanos.  Then Mother Earth had six ugly children, the Cyclopes and the hundred-handed ones.  Then she had six more children, the Titons.  But Unronanos threw the first six ugly children into Tortures.  Mother Earth then gave the sickle to Kronos and said, “Kill your own father!”  Kronos did so.  He killed Uronanos and married Rhea.

 

So Kronos had many children, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera.  Kronos did not want to be overturned like he did to Uronanos, so each time he had a son or daughter, he would eat them.  So when Rhea gave birth to Zeus, she hid him while Kronos ate a rock.  So when Zeus grew up, he gave his father poison.  Then Kronos threw up all his children!

They said, “Lead us to battle, Zeus!”

So the battle raged for ten years until finally Mother Earth told Zeus to free the Cyclops.  Zeus did.  They finally won the war, and the reign of the Olympians had begun.

 

So then Zeus and Hera got married.  They had two children, both boys.  They were Ares, god of war and Hephaestus god of fire and blacksmiths.  So when Aphrodite came out of the sea foam, they both argued over her.  Then the gods drew lots for who got which power they would have.  So Zeus won the sky, Poseidon won the oceans, Hades won the earth, and so on.  So all the gods had many children.  Aphrodite had Eros as a son.  He was god of love.

 

So then Zeus got married with Leto, but he learned that if she had a child, it would be greater than its father.  So he ate Leto, titan of wisdom.  That’s how he gained his great knowledge.  Then one day he had a horrible headache.  He asked his son Hephaestus to crack his head open.  When he did, out sprang Athena, goddess of wisdom.  Then Hephaestus glued Zeus’ head back together.  Zeus then claimed her as his daughter.

 

So now all the gods and goddesses are born.  The rest you need to find out on your own.  Thanks for reading all about the ancient gods of Greece and Rome.

Chapter 3:  Reed Destroys the Cyclops

Reed ran and grabbed at the sword.  He pulled and pulled, but no use.  The giant came closer!  Then he had a brilliant idea!  He jumped and watched the Cyclops smack the sword out.  The Reed caught the sword and yelled in triumph!

While the giant whimpered like a two year old baby, Reed laughed and said, “Ha!  You big baby!  You’re pathetic!”

The Cyclops cried, “Please, I beg for mercy.”

It ended with the sword contacting the Cyclop’s head.  He grabbed it like a trophy and cheered.  Then he brought home the biggest feast ever, with eyeball as dessert.  It tasted pretty good.

Chapter 2:  Reed Screams in Horror!

Then the Cyclops grabbed two boulders and threw them at Reed and yelled, “You’re gonna pay for that, fool!”

Reed said, “Ha!  Like I’m afraid of one-eyed goons!”

The giant bellowed in rage!  He said, “Now you’re in for it!”

Then all of a sudden, he grabbed Reed and opened his disgusting mouth.  Then Reed started screaming.

Reed screamed, “Okay, for starters, do you brush?  Next is, AAAAHHHHH!  SAVE ME, MOMMY!  WAH!  WAH!”

Then he got control of himself and saw a weapon.  He knew it was the scythe from his Greek studies.  So he kicked the Cyclops in the eye and made him want to kill himself.

Chapter 1:  Reed Finds the One-Eyed Demon

Once upon a time, in Greek myths, there was a man (that’s right, man, young man) named Reed.  He was big, strong, and of course, HANDSOME.  One day when hunting in the woods, he saw a cave.  He knew something ugly and deformed was in there.  Something like what a frog would look like after being squeezed by a car.  Anyway, his curiosity took over, and he wanted to see what was in the cave.  It was nasty, ugly, and of course destroying.  It was a, a, a Cyclops!  When the syclps saw him, he yelled, “Oh, look!  A tasty little snack!”

Reed yelled in reply, “Yeah, right.  Try to get me before I slice you to bits, ugly face.  Ha, ha, ha!”

 

Black is the silence and peace of the night.

Black is the softness of our cat.

Black is the color of the all powerful.

Black is the color after sunset.

Black is peace and quiet to the end of the poem.

Black is Pop’s stew.

Black is a python constricting you!

Black is a thunderstorm raining on you.

Black is the loss of a loved one.

Black is a nightmare walking toward you.

Bum, bum, bum!

This is what black is!

This is my Genius Hour Project! I hope you enjoyed my Voki.

So Legos are made of small pieces of plastic called granules. The company makes over twenty million Legos every year. Did you know that they have so many Legos in the world that everyone in the world could have sixty-nine Legos?

Also, the Lego EV3 costs $375, but it’s so worth it. It’s remote-controlled or on the iPad, phone, and laptop. You can build anything with Lego robotics. Oh, that reminds me, how do they make such awesome Lego robotics?

Well, I think that’s enough for now. See you soon. Coming soon are the steps to how Legos are made. If you really want to learn more, send me a comment request, and I will try to answer your Lego questions with my research. Thank you!

It is called the Death Sticker because the stick it gives will make you its lunch. Here is how it works.

The creature is a very tough animal because of the big, strong body. It has tough arms, speed, stretch, bravery, and camouflage to protect it. The monster hates the heat and swells in the cold. It eats lots and lots of meat, so it stores lots of food in its stomach and digests into a bad stench, which helps it get its prey. It also stores it up for hot days, but the thing is that it eats a lot of food so it has to eat as much as it can so it will have it for hot days.

The things it eats are chickens, pigs, birds, fish, people, a few blackberries and strawberries, pears, big snakes, cows, eggs, lions, wild dogs, and wild cats. The few things it fears are adults with guns or a lot of lions in a pack, a group of cobras, and bears. It is a very good swimmer, so it can catch fish.

This beast dwells in Southern Canada, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and all of the rest of New England, but it can travel to southern parts of America. It will live in cool spots like caves and big nests with shelter and something like a roof. It uses its sting to make things fade, and then eats it or uses it as a defense weapon so it can escape from its predators. This skilled creature is frightening!
