The Three Little Belchers The Belcher Family. Web Source Louise, Gene, and Tina spent their summer days working at their dad's burger restaurant, Bob's Burgers. The three kids, bored out of their mind, were looking for something to pass the time. Louise, the youngest of the bunch, was building a tower out of coasters at the bar when suddenly it crumbled down. Tina, the oldest more responsible, noticed the fall and said, "That's why you can't coast through building those things." She then continued to softly laugh at her own joke. Louise then said, "Oh you think you can do so much better?!?" To which Tina responded, "Ya, I do. I think I can do much better." Louise all fired up for competition shouted, "Wanna bet? Tallest structure made out of restaurant items wins!" In true Tina fashion, she lays down the rules, "Fine! We each have an hour to build the tallest structure. BUT the finished product must ...

The Beast of The Sandlot The Sandlot Gang. Web Source It was midsummer 1962 in San Fernando Valley. My family had just moved to this town and I didn't have a single friend.

The Tortoise, the Scorpion, and the Hare There once was a scorpion and tortoise that were a close as could be. As odd as this friendship looked, for some reason it worked. The scorpion was small but mighty and the tortoise was large yet gentle. The best friends did everything together. They went drinking together at the village watering hole, they gossiped about other animals together, even took long day trips together to the next town to shake up their normal routine. The day trips were the tortoise's favorite thing to do. He would place the scorpion on his back to make sure he never got tired with his small legs. They would play your typical road trip games like I-Spy but no one ever really won or lost for that matter since everything was grey. On one of the trips, the tortoise and scorpion ran into an old hare they knew. The tortoise and the hare were notorious for not seeing eye to eye. They were always getting into arguments about conflicting views like whethe...

How would it feel to fall in love with love itself but not know? The tale of Psyche and Cupid goes a so. Psyche, a beautiful princess, was often compared to Venus. Venus you could imagine was not thrilled to be compared to such a mere mortal like Psyche herself. Out of spite, Venus ordered her son Cupid to strike Psyche with one of his bows to torture the princess. One small prick from Cupid's arrow will put a mortal like Psyche in a treacherous state of irrational unbending love. Now Cupid loved his mother with such devotion, but one look at Psyche could make even the most honorable son betray his mother's trust. With Psyche and his mother Venus none the wiser, Cupid led the princess to safety and hid her away in a sanctuary. Cupid would love on her at night and fly away in the morning so she would never who he was. She had almost everything she could ever want: riches, servants, and a loving husband. Cupid used darkness to conceal his true identity.  Image info: ...

Before she left the mother asked her daughters what they wanted from the market. The two eldest girls supplied a long list of wants. The youngest, however, just wanted three Roses. The family lived deep in the woods so the trip would take two days time. After collecting all the supplies that were needed the mother started to head back home. With such a heavy load, the mother needed a rest. It was getting dark and she could hear the animals coming out to search for food under the moon. She saw an old looking palace and decided to hurry there for refuge for the night. The mother had never seen this palace but it seemed extremely old. The only thing that was in good condition was the rose garden to the side of the palace. She had already bought her daughter the three roses but these were so much more beautiful. As soon as sh...
