Transcript
Many years ago, a small boy named Atiles was plunged into the river's sticks by his mother, and from that day forth was invulnerable except for his heel which was not dipped into the river's sticks, for that was where his mother had held him when she put him into those mysterious waters.
When Atiles grew up, he became a mighty and feared warrior, or it appeared that nothing could hurt him. Then one day, in the heat of a fierce battle, a soldier shot an arrow, and it headed straight for the foot of Achilles, and struck him squarely in his heel, his one vulnerable spot.
And from that day on, Achilles had to wear orthopedic shoes. Thank you, Story Lady. Be with us next time, boys and girls, when the Story Lady tells us how she developed the power to cloud men's minds.
