Down in a meadow where the sun is bright, a boy sits by himself looking at his reflection in the little stream down by the apple trees. After staring at the stream for awhile, a small pebble hits the stream and breaks the calmness of the water. The little kid by the stream was Snakefis. As he looks up he sees the town bully and his friends laughing at what the bully did. This upsets Snakefis. He reaches down for a rock and picks it up. Snakefis waits until Leon (the bully) is not looking at him anymore, and at that instant Snakefis flings the rock. Just as soon as Leon turns back around, the rock Snakefis threw hits Leon dead in the head and knocks Leon out. Snakefis and Leon's friends run as fast as they can and leave Leon there.

Twenty years have passed and the two kids, Snakefis and Leon, have gone their separate ways. Snakefis goes off to the city of Troy to join their army. On the other hand, Leon goes off in the other direction to join the Macedonians and their army. A huge war has broken out between the two countries. The Troys received news that the Macedonians declared war on the Troys. Both of the soldiers had a position on the front line. When they were sent off to war, Snakefis and Leon met in a grove of trees. It wasn't until later that Snakefis realized that it was Leon. When Leon realized that he was fighting his boyhood enemy, he stopped fighting for just a second to say something. Snakefis realized that he would be crushed by Leon's masculine power. While Snakefis was battling he thought to himself, I'm like a snake to Leon and he's like a lion to me. In an instant, time itself paused, and the two warriors came to a halt in their fighting. In disgust with the two boys that had been fighting since their childhood, the King of the Gods (Zeus) and the goddess of Harvest( Demeter) came up with a suitable punishment for the two warriors. Leon would be turned into the head of the flower which looked like the mane of a flower, and Snakefis the body of the flower which looked like the body of a snake. And that's how we got the dandelion.
