When Hera Told a Lie “Why, Zeus? Why?” screamed Hera. Zeus continued laughing, “Because it was funny!” Hera didn’t seem amused. “Well it’s not funny to me!” said Hera as she stormed off. Hera had just fallen for one of Zeus’ pranks…again. He loved tricking and playing pranks on people; he thought it was entertaining. He didn’t think Hera would be this upset. “Hera, I’m sorry!” Zeus yelled. Hera heard him, but didn’t bother saying anything. She was too busy thinking about seeking revenge on him. She didn’t talk to him for the rest of the day; she had too much to plan. Because of this, Zeus was very worried. She never ignored him when they were both in the same place. Hera’s plan was all ready. She left Mt. Olympus and went to a small village. She found a young girl, named Hayley. Hayley was frightened by Hera. She had never seen someone like her in her small village. Hera asked her if she could do a favor for her. Despite the fact she didn’t know her, Hayley said yes. “Do you know the God Zeus?” Hera asked her. “Yes, of course I know who he is!” she replied. Hera whispered something in the Hayley’s ear. She gasped and put her hands over her mouth. “Now you need to promise me that you won’t tell anyone.” said Hera. “Oh I promise!” said Hayley. As Hayley ran back to her house, Hera made an evil grin. She knew that an eight year old would never be able to keep a secret, especially a secret like that. At the time, Zeus was not on Mt. Olympus, so he didn’t see what Hera had done. This was all part of her plan. At times, she could be very clever. “Mommy, mommy, mommy! Where are you? Guess what!” yelled Hayley as she ran into her house. Her mother ran to the door from the kitchen. “What? What? Are you okay?” her mom replied. “I’m fine! See?” Hayley said. “You had me worried!” said her mom. “But mom, guess what!” she said. “What?” asked her mom. “I ran into this lady on the street on the way to the market for you and you’ll never guess what she told me!” Hayley said excitedly. “You did what!? What have I told you about talking to strangers!?” her mom exclaimed. “No mom, it’s okay. Do you want to know what she told me?” Hayley asked, not seeing what her mom was worried about. “Yes, I would.” Her mom replied in a stern tone. Hayley walked up to her mother and whispered in her ear. “But don’t tell anyone, mom!” said Hayley. Her mom was shocked, but didn’t show much of a reaction. “Remember, you shouldn’t always believe everything you hear.” was all her mom said. Her mom, who actually believed what Hayley had said, always wanted to make a lesson out of every problem or situation that came her way, so she acted like she didn’t believe when in reality, she actually did. “Perfect! Now that she told her mother, her mother must have to tell someone else. It’s a small village so news must travel fast!! My ideas are always perfect.” Hera exclaimed excitedly. “What plan?” Zeus asked. Hera froze. She didn’t realize that she had been talking loud enough for him, or anyone for that matter, to hear. “Oh…um, nothing! Nothing at all!” Hera said as she quickly walked away. Now Zeus was very suspicious. “Hera is always up to no good.” Zeus muttered to himself. Meanwhile, in Hayley’s town, the rumor about Zeus was the only thing that everyone was talking about. Hera scheme was going according to plan. It was going perfectly until… “Did you hear about Zeus!?” a young boy asked a young girl. “No I did not.” Replied the girl. The boy leaned over and whispered in her ear. Zeus was watching the whole time and could not believe what he had seen and heard. He immediately went to Hera. “Hera, how could you?” Zeus said angrily. Hera knew she was in trouble now. “How could I what?...” she asked as if she didn’t know what he was talking about. She smirked. “Hera, this isn’t funny. Why would you make up something about me?” “Now you know how I felt!” Hera tried to explain. “I said I was sorry. And that was a prank. I didn’t go and tell a whole town a lie about you. I would never do that.” Zeus said. “But…now I feel bad.” Hera said softly. Zeus was still disappointed in Hera. “Zeus, I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do for you to forgive me?” Hera asked. Zeus pondered for a while. He couldn’t think of one thing she could do. Then something came to him. “Actually…there is something you can do for me.” Zeus said. “Really? What?” Hera said relieved. “Go back to that small village.” Zeus said. “And…?” Hera asked. “And you must tell everyone how you lied about me and that what you said is not true.” Zeus explained. “But…I…okay…fine. I’ll do it.” said Hera. Zeus watched as Hera explained to the whole town how she lied and that they should disregard everything they had heard about him. She apologized to them, and Zeus once again. “I realized how much it can actually hurt people’s feelings…” Hera said as she was explaining. “And that is why you shouldn’t believe everything you hear, or tell any lies.” Zeus said with a smile on his face.
