The Story of Hercules
A Very Strong Boy
Once there was a Greek lady named Alcmena, who had a little boy named Hercules. Hercules was so strong that he could do almost anything. When he was a baby two large snakes got in his crib and tried to choke him. But he squeezed them so hard,that he choked them to death.
When Hercules grew up, he was the
strongest man in all theworld. He wore
a shaggy yellow lions skin and carried a huge club so he looked tough.
The King sent him to kill a frightful
dragon named Hydra that had nine heads.
Hercules found the Hydra and began knocking off its nine heads with his
club. But, everytime he knocked off one
head, tow others grew back in its place.
Also, a big crab named Cancer, who was Hydra’s friend began pinching
Hercules’ foot.
Hercules kicked the crab away, and got a
torch and burned the heads off. He
could not kill one, so he put it under a rock, and it is probably still there
today. Click
