Hello everyone,
This is my story.
It is from Egyptian mythology and it deals with honesty and fairness.
I have done this because Habitat 17 did some skits about honesty.
Hope you like it!
Thank you!
From,
Maya.
The Battle between Heru Sa Aset and Set.
NOTE:At school on 22.02,my class got into groups and made skits about honesty.So for home link,I have re-written a story from Egyptian Mythology that deals with the same subject of honesty and Fairness.

HERU SA ASET
|
SET
|
Set,the envious god,was the uncle of Heru Sa Aset,son of Usir and Aset.Before,Set had murdered Usir,by putting him in a coffin that was just his size,closing it tight,and threw it into the ocean. Usir then died,because of lack of air in the tight coffin,and he fled down to Duat,the underworld.Because Usir used to be the king of Egypt,and he was now dead,Set had the throne all to himself!All to himself!

Uh oh!Is THAT what should have happened?
No!Heru Sa Aset should have gotten the throne!He was Usir's son!
So Heru Sa Aset went to Set and asked him to give him the throne.
But Set didn't move.
Not even a little.
"If you want the throne,FIGHT ME!"Set shouted.
"Sure!"
"FIGHT!!!"
The goddess Nit,Warrior goddess and weaver of the cosmos,took Heru Sa Aset's side,and the battle started!
Wait,Before the battle started,The great pesedjet,the nine great gods of Egypt,looked like they were on Sets side,and that made it look like Set was going to keep his throne!
Aset,Heru Sa Aset's mother,was VERY sad.She disguised herself,and went to Set,saying to him,"I am a widow,and a stranger has taken over my son's land and threatened my son.Can you help me?"
Doesn't that sound like Aset's story?
But Set refused.
He was cold-blooded,and called Aset a villain.
Aha!Aset revealed her true identity!
Set SHOULD have admitted that he made a mistake.
But he didn't!
Not even on syllable!
Instead,he continued fighting!
That battle raged in for 80 years,and Set even plucked out one of Heru Sa Aset's eyes!
So Hut Heru,the very eye of Ra,the sun god,brought milk from the milky way and poured it into Heru Sa Aset's eye.
Instantly,his eye grew back!

He continued fighting.
In one part,The found a lake,and Heru Sa Aset said,"We can each make a boat out of rock,and float it across the water and fight."
"Ok!"
So they each made a boat out of rock.
Set made a boat out of real rock,but Heru Sa Aset made one of plywood,and painted it to look like rock.
Of course,Heru Sa Aset's floated,while Set's sunk.
Finally,Heru Sa Aset won,and was crowned the king of Egypt.
The end.
