Why We Have Seasons.

A myth by Kirsten Clark.

Long long ago….there was no light. The earth was cold as ice.

Then one day a small dot appeared named Hera. She created everything. She created the trees the air and the world. Over time Hera grew and grew until she was a goddess. She had four kids-Spring,Summer,Autumn and Winter. She created every daughter with exquisite detail from their waving, brightly-coloured hair to their soft delicate feet. Hera found corners of the earth that were dark and gloomy. She made them light and bright and went on her way.

But, one day, darkness started to take over the world. Darkness reached the castle and stopped. Hera came out. “Why are you here!” she called.

Darkness swept over the castle as if to answer. Spring was brushing her flowing pink hair when she saw the darkness outside her window. She sprang up and ran to Autumn's room. She thudded on the door until Autumn came out.

“Something is happening outside!” Spring yelled. The both of them gathered the others outside.

“Look!” yelled Winter.

“Look at what?” Spring asked.

“All I can see is dark!” Autumn snapped

“How will I ever do my makeup now?!” screamed Summer

Hera attacked the darkness with the same light that she used to create the universe but she was too tired to carry on so she tried to reason with the Darkness.

They made an arrangement for darkness to work with Winter to make the days in winter shorter. The rest of the seasons had their own days and they lived happily ever after. And that is why we have seasons on Earth.
