The mess at Tech

The three legends

On Saturday, I went to my writing class and when I got there, there was a surprise. A pipe that was  connected to the building was gushing out water. I checked to see if there was any water next to where my mum parked her car and there was none, so I went to my class.

Once I have entered the class, we read some myths and legends. One of them was about a thunderbird that makes thunder every time he blinks and controls the rain. He has a bad habit of stealing beautiful girls. A man whose last name was Arrow went to the place where the thunderbird lived and tried to get back his wife Red Rose and he succeeded. The thunderbird gave him a sacred medicine that looked like a pipe. He said that when it is Spring, blow into the pipe and he will know not to steal girls and terrorize the village.

The other legend was about a rainbow serpent that guarded waterholes. He came to a village and wanted a place to live and the people at the village welcomed him. But one day he was hungry and when it was raining, two boys went into his house to take shelter but they ran straight into his mouth. The serpent ran away and the villagers went to find the serpent to get the two boys back but they needed help. Two lizard men said that they will help them. They saw that he was coiled in a mountain and cut him but they still couldn’t find the boys. Instead, two parrots flew out and the villagers went back home and in the end  the serpent turned into a rainbow, watching over the humans.

The last legend was about Thor and his hammer, Mjolnir. When Thor woke up, he couldn’t find his hammer and he searched everywhere. His brother Loki turned into a falcon and searched for his hammer. He returned and told Thor that the ice giant took it and wouldn’t give it back unless the ice giant married the goddess of love. Loki had a plan to disguise Thor to be the bride and so he could take back his hammer. Thor didn’t like the plan but he wanted to get Mjolnir back so he agreed. He went to the ice giant’s place disguised as the bride and ate a lot of food. When it was time to kiss, he took his hammer back and I couldn’t remember the rest.

Once we finished reading the myths, I went to my mum’s car and we went back home.             

The Traditional Prayer of Mary

We are learning the Angelus Prayer in Room 7. We say the prayer so that we can take a break and give our time to God.
