#20 free choice

There once was a kid. His name was Phaeton, he lived in Greece. But one thing he always would think about where his father was, or who he was. He always heard his friends talk about their fathers, so one day out of curiosity he decided to ask his mother who was his father? His mother did not want to lie to Phaeton. He was becoming a young man and he needed to know the truth. So his mother sat him down and told him that his father was Helios god of the sun.

So the next day at school phaeton could not wait to tell his friends who his father was. Afterschool, he gathered all of his friends to tell them the good news. He announced to everyone "My father is Helios god of the Sun." All his friends looked at one another and laughed. Phaeton was angry so he defended his word and got into a fight. He went home with a black eye and busted lip. His mother asked him what had happened? He told her what had occurred and she felt guilty. He told his mother if his father was Helios how could he prove it?

 He rested and his mother told him the only way to find your father is to travel as far east as he could, to where the sun rose and he would find Helios temple. Phaeton walked threw Greece, India, and China. He came upon a mountain range and it was getting dark, he figured this the end of the earth so the temple must be near by. He saw a light in the middle of the mountains and he knew he had found the temple.
