There was a woodsman who had a new axe.
The first day he was able to chop down 20 trees.
With each passing day, he worked longer and harder, while chopping down fewer trees.
A friend wandered by and suggested, "why don't you sharpen your axe?"
The woodsman replied, "I am too busy. I have got to chop down more trees!"
Let stop for a moment, collect our thoughts and sharpen our axes.

The two brothers Castor and Pollux were raised together, and they identical; no-one could tell them apart. Fond of adventure, they joined Jason's expedition aboard the Argo to the Black Sea in search of the Golden Fleece. The ship had to stop at the entrance to the King Amycus' realm. Amycus, a brutal man, never let visitors pass through his land without challenging them to a boxing match. He allowed no-one to decline, and nobody survived. The brothers were known for their athletic ability, so Pollux was the first Argonaut to step forward. As soon as the chance presented, he drove his fist into Amycus' temple, crushing the skull and killing the King.
The story of Castor and Pollux ends sadly. Their final adventure took them to Arcadia with two cousins (ex-Argonauts) to raid cattle. When the spoils were divided, the cousins tricked the brothers, and took everything for themselves. Castor and Pollux gave chase. The brothers took a shortcut and waited for them. Unfortunately, a cousin discovered Castor first shot him. Pollux avenged his brother. The other cousin, however, struck Pollux with a rock, knocking him unconscious. He ran in to finish him off.
Luckily, Zeus watched the ordeal and killed the cousin with a thunderbolt. When Pollux regained consciousness, he realized that he no longer have Castor with him. He wished to join his brother, so he begged Zeus to remove his immortality. Zeus granted his wish and placed the twins in the sky to remind us of brotherly love.
The oracle at Delphi assigned Heracles (often called Hercules) a series of labors to expiate the sin of murdering his family. The second labor involved going to Lerna to kill the hideous Hydra (now a constellation of that name). Heracles brought his nephew Iolaus (son of his twin brother Iphicles) on this trip as his assistant. This creature of nine heads lived in a swamp. Its mere breath could kill a person. Heracles shot a fire-arrow into the Hydra's den to lure the monster out while Iolaus set the nearby shrubs on fire to confuse the creature. Actually killing the Hydra was easier said than done, since one of the heads was immortal, and the others almost as bad. When Heracles chopped off one, two new heads grew up to replace them.
To aid Hydra, Hera, Heracles' nemesis, sent a crab (Cancer) to distract him, but as soon as the crab came out of the swamp, Heracles crushed it (this is the reason the constellation of Cancer has a crooked shape). Eventually Heracles succeed in killing the Hydra, and the crab got a rather dull group of stars for its efforts.
The first involved killing the monstrous, man-eating lion of Nemaea (Leo, the Lion). He tried to kill it with his special arrows and his club, but both weapons broke into pieces as if they were made of clay. After using the weapons in vain, he strangled the lion with his bare hands, succeeding his first task.
When Demeter discovered her precious daughter missing, she began a frantic search. She sought her without ceasing, not eating or sleeping. At last she learned Hades had taken her daughter; she went to persuade Hades to give her daughter back, but he would not listen to her. In her grief, she failed in her duties as goddess of agriculture. That year was the most dreadful and cruel ever experienced by humanity. No seed sprang up from the ground. People died of starvation and Demeter herself looked feeble. After watching the famine's progression, Zeus took matters into his own hand. He spoke gently to Demeter, trying to persuade her to do her job. But she would not listen, and replied she would never let anything grow on the earth until she saw her child, Persephone.
Zeus realized his brother Hades must yield. He eventually did, and Zeus told Demeter that her daughter could come home, provided she had not eaten anything while in the underworld. He sent Hermes (the messenger) to the underworld to fetch Persephone. Hades, downcast, knew he must obey the word of Zeus. Persephone was elated to hear the news that she could finally return to her mother. Before her departure with Hermes, Hades told her not to forget him, and to think kindly of him. He tricked her to eat a few pomegranate seeds, knowing in his heart that if she did so she must return to him.
Demeter and Persephone had a happy reunion, they had a lot to talk about. Demeter grieved when she learned about the pomegranate seeds. Zeus sent his mother Rhea to speak to Demeter. Rhea explained that Persephone could remain with her 8 months out of a year, but the rest of the year, she has to go back down to the underworld to be with Hades. Demeter understood and apologized for the desolation she had brought about. She made the fields rich and productive again, but during the four months that Persephone is in the underworld, she still grieves for her daughter, letting winter rule the world.
哈哈，又是星期六了！
