          When the Greek gods were still living there was a god named Zeus, who ruled all heaven and earth.  Zeus brother Hades ruled the under world.  But when Zeus got married and had kids, Hades didn’t like one of them, Hercules. They lived up on a big fluffy cloud with kids play and birds singing, which was called Olympus.  But then one day Hades came up from the underworld. He tried to make Olympus a dark and cold place, by making a big storm with lightening and thunder with gray clouds.  When Zeus came along and tried to stop him.  But that didn’t work; they just created a bigger storm. It started to get very dark and cold.  Pretty soon there were big gusts of wind blowing everything over.  The kids all ran inside from the big dark clouds that cover up the bright sun.  Everyone kept fighting because no one knew what was going on.  Hercules came up to check up on everything.  But to his surprise, Hercules found Zeus and Hades in a fight.  Hercules tried to stop them but he couldn’t. He went back and got the other people and told them what he saw, and after awhile they got them to stop fighting.  After all that happen everything went back to normal with happy people.
