It all started one day when Zeus was sitting in his royal chair and he decided to call the Slush Puppy. When Slush Puppy arrived Zeus asked, "How's the weather outside of my palace?"
Slush puppy answered, " Bad, It looks like Hades is coming."
"What do you mean?" said Zeus
"I mean the big storm. Every time Hades is about to come you can tell. What I mean is all the rain, lightning and sometimes tornadoes!
Zeus replied, "Well, I might just fix this little problem since I am the ruler of all the fellow gods Ha, Ha."
Later that night Hades showed up. Zeus shouted, "Hades, come here at once."
Zeus had a long talk with Hades and he was never to make bad weather again. So Zeus changed the weather back into a nice spring day.
The next day Hades came to Mount Olympus and took Hermes to the Underworld. Hades tricked Hermes into teaching Hades some secret tricks but Hades tried them and they didn't work. Hermes said,"They only work for me since I am the god of secret tricks, and the messenger for all the gods."
The next morning Hades got up and thought about what Hermes had said about him being the messenger and doing secret tricks.
As it happens, Hermes owes Hades a favor. Hades told Hermes that if he went to Mount Olympus and told Zeus that he had better start watching the weather. Hermes would owe a favor to Hades.
Hermes went and told Zeus and he came back. Well Hades tricked Hermes by coming back to the underworld.
Hades told Hermes if he didn't do what he said, he would kill him. So Hades told him what the plan was to get back at Zeus. The plan was to sneak to Mount Olympus and play a trick on Zeus. The trick was to change the weather from a nice summer day to a storm with high speed wind and maybe some tornadoes.
Then one day later Hermes went to complete this plan. He succeeded to change the weather,but failed on the second part. Trying to get out of Mount Olympus he got caught by the two guards. The guards took him to Zeus' palace. Zeus looked at him and just laughed. "Well your punishment is to be hung and left there until your body has fully decayed."
Hermes begged Zeus to listen to him, so Zeus gave him one minute. Hermes said panicking, "Uh, uh, uh, Hades said that if,if, I didn't d,do this he was going to kill me!!"
So Zeus said, "I'm going to let you go as long as you bring back Hades. So Hermes went back to the underworld and got Hades. And so be it the evil got the punishment.
