A New Version of Orpheus

Once Upon a time there was a wise man soaring through the woods. He was playing some beautiful music,his name was Orpheus. While he was playing his beautiful music he saw a crack in a tree as it became to open.Orpheus kept playing and the tree became to crack more and more each time. Then suddenly a girl appeared!Orpheus still kept playing then he stopped and started saying,"I've played to make the mighty waters and made them calm. I've seen terrible things and beautiful things but you happen to be the most beautiful thing I have seen yet.What is your name?", he continued.The young lady said," Eurydice."Then as the ladies of Orpheus town started dancing Eurydice went to the woods and saw a man. The man tried to grab her but she ran away. As she ran a snake bit her and she died. Orpheus picked her up and took her to the town. He said that they will burn her and there will be no more music ever again. Orpheus went to the underworld to reclaim his love for his wife but Hades did not let him. Then Hades wife begged to let Eurydice go and he said,Very well but if you look back to see if she's there she will return to me forever."Just as they were about to enter the real world Orpheus looked back and she disappeared forever. Then he sat alone breaking his lier but the women got tired of it and cut him into pieces and he died.
THE END
