He worked hard and was very good at his job. But there was something about him—he had 100 eyes! Having so many eyes was a great thing. He could see everything around him. Most importantly, because he had so many eyes, he was very good at protecting things. Even when he was asleep, he would only close a few of his eyes, while the others stayed open, keeping watch. Argos worked for Hera (赫拉), the powerful goddess. His main job was to protect a very special cow that Hera loved very much. The cow had to stay alone, away from other cows and far from people. Luckily for Argos, this job was easy—the cow spent most of its time peacefully eating grass. However, Zeus (宙斯), a god who had other plans—he wanted to take the cow. He came up with a clever trick (计谋). He found a man who could play beautiful music and told him to play a soft calming song for Argos. The moment Argos heard the music, he felt sleepy. Slowly, all of his eyes closed, and he fell into a deep sleep. Seeing this, Zeus quickly took the cow away. When Hera found out what happened, she was so angry that she turned Argos into a peacock (孔雀). However, she didn’t forget his many eyes—she placed them on the peacock’s long, beautiful tail to honor him. Zeus, feeling sorry for the trouble he caused, turned Argos into a group of stars in the night sky. Even today, if you look up at the stars, you can still see Argos watching over the place where his story began. 24. Finish the mind map about the relationships of the characters.

Argos’s job was to protect a very special cow for Hera. C. Zeus played the music so beautifully that Argos fell asleep easily. 26. What is the main reason Zeus turned Argos into stars in the sky? A. To punish (惩罚) Argos for his failure. B. To show he’s sorry for the trouble he caused. C. To give Argos a chance to rest forever. 27. What can we learn about Hera from the story? A. She was kind and strong. B. She was strict and easily angry. C. She was gentle (温柔的) and understanding. 28. Which of the following shows a similar trick to Zeus’s? A. 瞒天过海—Hide your true plan by doing something the enemy doesn’t notice. B. 调虎离山—Fool the enemy into leaving their safe place so you can attack them.
