Hermes 4

I had a very eventful first birthday. It involved stealing cows, sacrificing these cows to the Olympian Gods, being tried by these Gods for theft of large red cows, and inventing an instrument. I was busy. That day started as I was born in a cave tucked away and hidden from the outside world. It was cool and dark, and had an earthy smell. My mother's cave was not one of those damp, drippy-roofed caves, but rather was dry and warm. But the cave was boring. Staring at the stone walls all day didn't seem like a good use of my first day in this world, and so I went exploring. Outside, the landscape seemed so fresh and cheerful. I walked a ways, toddling through grass taller than myself, content to smell the new scents brought by a slow, refreshing breeze. The whole area was very nice, and was a nice first view of the world in which I eternally exist.

  1. Dear Hermes, How could stealing cows be a good idea? Though it does sound adventurous!

  3. Zhongli Quan, I stole the cows and sacrificed them to the gods... What could possibly be seen as wrong about that? Except for the small matter of property theft. whooops

  5. Hermes, you have never been the wisest among our sibilings, but you do help people when you are not out doing mindless trickery. When you are tricking people, are there reasons why or is it all random?
