Words to know: prove, hero, pieces, supposed, tiny
Once upon a time Cupid was feeling very sad. Cupid would protest
against the work his parents were devoted to doing all their life, making
people fall in love. Cupid was supposed to be taking over the family
business, but he just hated shooting humans with his arrows. What Cupid
really wanted was to be a hero. Cupid wanted to defend all the humans that
were in trouble. Cupid felt he could relate to the humans and be of help to
them.
One day Cupid was flying around trying to pretend he was looking for
someone to shoot with his arrows when he heard a human calling for help.
The human was trapped in quick drying cement, and beside him was a little
dog also trapped. It was finally time for Cupid to provide help to a human
and prove he could be a hero. He flew down to them and tried to pull them
out, but it was no use, the cement had already dried. Cupid then improvised
a plan and shot the cement with his arrow. The cement broke up into tiny
pieces. The human and his dog were able to get free. The human was very
thankful and gave Cupid a money bonus for his help. And Cupid could finally
define himself as a hero.
