A Legend

Deep Deep Down

By Valentina (Dancing Brook) and Anna (Hummingbird)

 

Once upon a time there was a boy named Bullfighter and his girlfriend Berry Cherry. She was angry with Bullfighter's dad, He Who Eats A Lot, because he ate all the food in the village. "You better stop your dad from eating all the food," said Berry Cherry. "I'm not going to be yours if your dad keeps eating this way." That night Bullfighter had a dream. A bee came up to him and said, "Kiss Berry Cherry and you will have the power of holding your breath for a long, long time." He woke up and kissed Berry Cherry, and she slapped him. But he got that kiss, and he went to the water, held his breath, dove down deep into the water, got the food, and brought it up. He took it to the sun, noon, and star. They blessed the food. He went to the village. Everybody had a celebration. Berry Cherry said; "I love you, Bullfighter." She kissed him and they got married. He Who Eats A Lot got stuck in the door of the church. And they lived happily ever after.
