I'd like to tell you about a friend of mine. Her name is Hypacia and she is a hero.

Last time you heard about her, she had captured a mountain lion,

chucked a giant enchanted snake into fresh water lake, and was about to try to move a stream to

clean the stinkiest stables in fresh water. Her evil Aunt Herra had sent her to do it because it

was supposedly impossible. Hypacia decided to pick up a nearby stream and move it to the stables

to wash them out. She knew it would be a tricky thing to do, even for someone extremely

strong like her. She also knew she'd have to put the stream back when she was done,

so all the living things that depended on the stream could survive. Hypacia stood over the

stream and leaned down, one leg on either side of the water. She held on tight and picked up the

stream. It was so heavy. The water kept flowing as she carried the stream just a little way toward

the farm. When Hypacia had a good view of the stables, she put the stream down and right away

it started flowing toward the stinky stables. When the stream reached the stables,

it washed all of the poop out. The water of the stream picked up the poop and carried it down to

farmer McDonald's field, where the poop acted as fertilizer, which helped the plants grow.
