" He cleared his throat and held up one hand dramatically.‚ÄúGreen grass breaks through snow. Artemis pleads for my help. He grinned at us, waiting for applause. "That last line was four syllables.‚Äù Artemis said. Apollo frowned. ‚ÄúWas it?‚Äù ‚ÄúNo, no, that‚Äôs six syllable, hhhm.‚Äù He started muttering to himself.

" Hermes smiled. "I knew a boy once ... oh, younger than you by far. A mere baby, really."Hermes ignored them. "One night, when this boy's mother wasn't watching, he sneaked out of their cave and stole some cattle that belonged to Apollo.""Did he get blasted to tiny pieces?" I asked."Hmm ... no. Actually, everything turned out quite well. To make up for his theft, the boy gave Apollo an instrument he'd invented-a lyre. Apollo was so enchanted with the music that he forgot all about being angry."So what's the moral?""The moral?" Hermes asked. "Goodness, you act like it's a fable. It's a true story. Does truth have a moral?""Um ...""How about this: stealing is not always bad?""I don't think my mom would like that moral.", suggested George. Martha demanded.."I've got it," Hermes said.

" He turned the crank handles, hoping the thing wouldn‚Äôt explode in his face. A few clear tones rang out-metallic yet warm. Leo manipulated the levers and gears. He recognized the song that sprang forth-the same wistful melody Calypso sang for him on Ogygia about homesickness and longing. But through the strings of the brass cone, the tune sounded even sadder, like a machine with a broken heart-the way Festus might sound if he could sing.Leo forgot Apollo was there. He played the song all the way through. When he was done, his eyes stung. He could almost smell the fresh-baked bread from Calypso‚Äôs kitchen. He could taste the only kiss she‚Äôd ever given him. "

" He remembered Apollo, smiling and tanned and completely cool in his shades. Thalia had said, He‚Äôs hot. He‚Äôs the sun god, Percy replied. That‚Äôs not what I meant. Why was Nico thinking about that now? The random memory irritated him, made him feel jittery. "

"
