Rumpney

/ Stephen Dale Marlowe

A NASA program came to our school, and I wrote a constellation story:

Rumpney the 2 Headed Snake 

There was once a girl named Amanda, and she had a snake named Rumpney. Rumpney had a pretty good life. He got fed the best brand of snake food, and even had plenty of things to occupy himself with. 

The one thing Rumpney wasn’t content with was his color. Rumpney was orange with yellow spots. He would do anything to get rid of those spots. So he called upon the war god, Ares,and asked him to make his spots disappear. Ares said yes,but at a price. 

The next day when Amanda was giving Rumpney his snake food, He bit he on the hand and she died. Once Zeus found out what Rumpney had done,he gave him purple spots, two heads, and sent him up in the sky forever. 

The moral to the story is that if the price is too much, don’t pay.
