THE GIFT OF THE GODDESS (a 55-word story)
Priestess Cydippe needed to reach Hera’s temple for a service.
Her sons, Biton and Cleopis, pulled Cydippe’s cart because the oxen were missing.
After five miles, they collapsed on the temple steps.
And fell asleep.
Cydippe prayed that Hera bestow upon them the greatest of gifts.
So they died in their sleep.
Worshipped as heroes.
