There is one question that people used to ask about the Nile.
Why does it flood at the same time every year?
A Myth
By Mikayla Watson
The nile floods every year because of a man. One day Malachi Mazoovius was walking down the road to get some potatoes for his mother's stew. Along the way he saw a cheese stand and so he decided to get some cheese too. As he walked a little farther he saw an onion stand so he got some onion and garlic. He walked a little bit farther and he saw a tomato stand so he got some tomatoes. Suddenly, he realized he had to get the potatoes so he hurried on. He finally found the potato stand but beside it was a stand that had lettuce so he bought some. All of a sudden he realized he was out of money and couldn't buy the potatoes. He brought what he had back to his mother for the stew. She was furious when she found out that he hadn't got the potatoes but she would have to make do with what she had. She made a stew. When she tasted it, she immediately knew that it was so bad that she could not use it. Sadly, she threw it into the river. All of a sudden the river started overflowing. She had put too much stew in the river. Because of her clumsy son now every time the river overflows it's because he decides to go and get some potatoes for his mother's stew.
