Myths


Myths are a way to explain unexplainable situations about nature. Why is the opossum's tail hairless? Why do we have seasons? Why do mosquitoes buzz in peoples ears? Why don't penguins fly? Can you think of any other myths? Come up with a question and then explain why. for example... The opossum had a beautiful bushy tail. But He so very proud of it. He would spend his whole day brushing and grooming his beautiful bushy tail. While he did this all the other animals worked around taking care of gathering food. They had had enough. So, the came to the opossum and asked him to do one thing for them. He reluctantly agreed. They asked him to go to the sun and bring back some heat for them. He took off towards the sun flipping his tail around and showing it off. When he got too close to the sun he flipped his beautiful bushy tail and it caught fire from the flames of the sun. When it caught fire his whole tail fur singed off. And to this day when you see an opossum you will see a bare tail and mostly at night, because he is ashamed of his looks with out his beautiful bushy tail.

Why do deer act suicidal?

Deer are (well they think) very good at the game chicken. When they are born, that is the first thing they are taught. When they get mad at each other, they wait for a car to come, then shove the deer that they are mad at into the street. So, they are not actually suicidal, they are just angry dare devils.

By the way, strange but interesting and imaginative blog.

Why don't penguins fly?

A long time ago, there was an evil wizard that ruled the North Pole.Back then, all of the penguins ahd wings, but since of teenage penguin punks got the wizard mad by breaking his snow globe in which he went to every night, he took away all the wings from the penguins.

That's the reason penguins don't fly . They don't have wings! Plus, they are too fat and they waddle like a duck! :D

Why is the sun on one part of the earth and not on the other?

I think becuase the other half don't need as much of the sun as we do because we have more people then they do.The evil men stild it from us becuase they dont have any sun at all.

Why Can't Animals Talk?

Animals use to talk but one day they had a meeting and said that the river was drying up. So when the river dried up they couldn't drink any water and they lost there voice and now they can't talk.

"Don't let the bugs bite"
Why do parents say"don't let the bed bugs bite"?
I don't understand!!!
Do they say it so you get scared?
Or do they say it because there is?
I think that if there was bug in your bed then they would have to get another bed!!!I know I don't!!!

Why do a huskies eyes not match?

Long ago, there was an evil emperor that lived near a family of huskies. He hated how thier eyes were such a lovely blue. He had one green eye and one brown eye like a huskies are now. Then one day the huskie mother came to his door and asked for some sugar politely and then batted her eyes because she had something in them and he thought she was doing it to show off her beutiful eyes. So the next day when she and her family came over for the good nieghbors banquet he made a witch doctor make thier eyes like his. The emperor the made the witch doctor take the color he had drained from the huskies eyes into his. When the witch doctor did this it drained the color from every huskies eyes and all thier eyes were the colors green and brown. Then the color blue in the emperor's eyes was so powerful it made his entire body blue and scared all his citizens run away in fear that the emperor was a monster or a ghost and now his ghost is trying to fix what he did but without the witch doctor he can not change it or cross over.
