Ji Mochen knew what Xiao Bairui meant, smiled and patiently explained: "Indeed, Daddy sometimes has a lot of things to be busy, and sometimes he feels very tired, this is always the feeling before you and Mommy come back, I feel that life seems to be like this, because of some mistakes of Daddy, Mommy left me, I have no one I want to protect, so at that time, I feel that there are many things I don't seem to have a goal, so Daddy will feel very tired." ”

"Then after Mommy and I come back, Daddy won't feel tired?" Xiao Bai Rui still didn't understand and asked, because he still didn't understand why Daddy felt very tired when he and Mommy weren't there, he and Mommy were in Daddy, and there were obviously a lot of things, why didn't he feel tired?

Ji Mochen smiled, touched his hair and said, "Because you and Mommy are back, Daddy knows that you are waiting for me every day when I go home, Mommy will prepare meals for me, and you will prepare a lot of things with Mu Bao to tell me, so that even if Daddy is busy outside, he will not feel tired." ”

"Because Daddy wants to give you a carefree life and give Mommy a place where you can rest with peace of mind, this is Daddy's responsibility, and it is also what Daddy wants most, so as long as I think of you by my side, I will be full of infinite strength, and I will be eliminated when I see your tiredness, this is the strength you give me, this is because you are by Daddy's side, so Daddy feels very happy, and he will not be tired."

Xiao Bai Rui nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "I understand, it's because Mommy and I love Daddy, and Daddy also loves me and Mommy, so I feel very happy, and I don't feel very tired, right?" ”

"Yes, that's smart." Ji Mochen praised without hesitation: "Then let's continue with the following story." ”

Xiao Bai Rui nodded, indicating that he was looking forward to it.

Later, one day, Prometheus was going to another place to run errands, so he couldn't get to the village, and that night the village was attacked again, this time with a serious attack, killing and wounding many people, and the whole village was thrown into chaos by wild beasts.

When Prometheus arrived, he saw such a village, he was very helpless and sad, seeing that the people who had always loved them and believed in them had suffered such a calamity, but he could not do anything, but it was not a long-term solution to stay here every night to drive away the beasts, and finally Prometheus thought for a moment and decided to ask Zeus again to give mankind fire.

Prometheus returned to Mount Olympus again, he went to Zeus and asked him to grant mankind or not to let their people suffer such a calamity, but Zeus was furious this time, and he rebuked Prometheus loudly:

"Prometheus, have you forgotten who you are? You are one of the noble Olympian gods, you have a noble identity and duty, not to guard those useless humans every day, and you should not ask me several times to give them the sacred fire, which is something that only a god deserves, not a mere human being, and if there is such a thing again, I will punish you heavily. With that, Zeus left in a rage.

Prometheus stood in place, looking at the back of Zeus leaving, and then thinking about the people who were homeless and sad to lose their relatives after being attacked, he felt very heartbroken, Zeus only cared about his dignity as the king of the gods, but he didn't care about the people who believed in him, so he came to protect these weak creatures, and finally Prometheus made a decision, intending to start implementing it the next night.

He decided to steal the fire and give it to humans.

The next night, Prometheus did not leave Mount Olympus. He sneaked into the temple of the sacred fire in the middle of the night, carefully stole the fire, he protected it from being extinguished by the wind, and soon he came to the village, which was filled with the screams and screams of the people, and the smell of blood was in the air.

Prometheus went down and quickly lit a dead tree next to the village with fire, and the dead tree was ignited by the fire, and the flames jumped upwards in an instant, and then the whole dead tree fell into the flames and was swallowed up by the flames.

Such a large flame also instantly illuminated the whole village, and the beasts saw the bright light from there, which not only made their whereabouts invisible, but even exuded the heat of burning their fur, they were frightened at once, and began to scatter and flee, and people found traces of fire to help them illuminate the darkness, and they quickly picked up their tools and chased the beasts that were fleeing, and soon subdued the beasts that were running slowly behind, and stayed to make food.

The villagers were grateful to Prometheus for his contribution to them, for always helping and protecting them, and now even for sending precious fire, so they kept the fire and sang and danced around the fire to express their gratitude for Prometheus' help.

People with fire are no longer afraid of the attack of wild beasts at night, they can use the fire to light up the whole village at night, they can also use fire to scare off those wild beasts who try to attack the village, in winter, they are no longer afraid of the cold, the night fire can help them keep warm, they will also use the fire to cook food, so that they can avoid many diseases.

"And what about Prometheus? Did Zeus know that Prometheus took it upon himself to steal the fire and give it to humans? Xiao Bai Rui tilted his head and asked.

"Of course, Zeus found out, and suddenly there was a bright fire in the village that had always been dark, Zeus felt that something was wrong, and when he ran over to look, he found that the villagers in the village had done a lot of things with fire, Zeus was very angry, and he wanted to take the fire away and punish these humans." Ji Mochen closed the book and said.

"And what about later? Have humans been punished? Xiao Bai Rui asked again.

"Human beings were not punished, and asked Prometheus that he was willing to bear all the blame, because the fire was stolen by him and given to mankind, as long as Zeus did not punish human beings and did not take away the fire that made human beings dependent, then he was willing to bear any punishment from Zeus, Zeus was originally unwilling to agree, but he heard the gratitude and reverence of human beings for him, and thanked him for giving them fire, and if he took it back, it would seem that his credibility was very poor, so Zeus did not take back the fire and did not punish humans." Ji Mochen said.
