How Saturn Got Her Ring Myth

How Saturn Got Her Ring

In the beginning, Best beloved, before humans were created, there lived nine planets. The nine planets lived in a dark, anti-gravity, anti-oxygen, anti-human place called Space. There were loud meteors & hard feeteors & even some seateors! Mercury lived alone, but Venus lived with her sibling, Earth. All the other planets lived alone. Even though they were lonely, all the planets were kind and good natured. All except Saturn.

Saturn was tired of being alone. She had secretly loved Earth & was very jealous because she thought that Earth & Venus were dating. The jealous planet went to Mars for help.

“Oh, my dear friend Mars, could you help me? I love Earth, but Earth loves Venus instead of me!” pleaded Saturn. (Mars also didn’t know that Earth & Venus were siblings)

“Take this ring and wear it. Ask the lonely Uranus out and Earth will be jealous.” replied Mars, handing Saturn a large grey ring. The ring smelt ‘xactly like nothingness.

After the conversation with Mars, Saturn did ‘xactly what Mars told him. She spoke to Uranus about the plan and wore the ring. After a few days of living with Uranus, Saturn had enough! The plan was not working at all! Saturn marched to Mars and screamed at him for 2 hours! From then on Saturn hated Mars. Oh yes she did! But the ring had gotten stuck on her. Then she thought about something. She had started to love Uranus! They both lived together in peace and from then on Saturn was never jealous again. After a few years she bought him a ring ‘xactly like her own. They even had a baby called Pluto.

That was the story of how Saturn got her ring.

The End

As I sit and think about ANZAC Day...

As I sit and think about ANZAC Day...

I see the brave soldiers standing in their muddy trench, leaning against the wall I can see that they are scared and worried. The sky was very grey. The sound of bombing was getting nearer and nearer and nearer. Soldiers look up hoping that it would end soon. Was their enemy near? They did not know. The bombing died away...

Now I see a large green field covered in beautiful, blood red poppies. This was where soldiers were buried when they left the world. Birds were chirping and the long grass as blowing in the wind. The smell of fresh grass filled the air. This was the place where a young soldier wrote the poem- In Flanders Fields, but more importantly...We will remember them.
