One day, the god Apollo was getting all up in Eros's (Cupid) grill so Eros did what any good god would do, and shot Apollo with a golden tipped arrow. This arrow made Apollo fall in love with a nymph named Daphne. Eros then shot Daphne with an arrow that would make her never be able to fall in love with Apollo. Well played Eros. Apollo followed Daphne who then prayed to her dad to make her into a laurel tree so she wouldn't have to deal with the poor love-stricken kid. Apollo, poor poor Apollo, made a wreath of laurel leaves that he put on his head, which was then used for crowns for emperors and victors. He also said that she would have eternal life and her leaves would never lose the green color. (ie she wouldn't age)
Eternal life would be awesome. Especially if I could look like a goddess for the rest of my life and never age. I wouldn't want to live here forever though, with the way our government is looking I am not sure anyone will want to. I would want to live where the gods and goddesses live, where we would hangout all day and shoot people with arrows whenever we felt like it. Also, I totally would wear a toga all day everyday for the rest of eternity.
