A Legend Retold

The insects grew gigantic. Athena loved them too much, she blew them up like party balloons. Gnats and ants had swords for teeth, neck ripping nails were the rule. Nothing could live long; insectivores consumed all. Prometheus gathered a few trembling mammals together, gave them agility and cunning, then he found a way to shrink the bugs. Seeing the mammals thrive, Zeus got mad at the boy. Something about rocks and chains - really fuzzy stuff. Later after all the silliness, a small minor ape stood upright and said quite clearly: Bug off Zeus, we got this.
