A long, long, time ago in the Greek cities about a thousand years ago. Myths went around and stories that became constellations and were famous for their victories and stories such as Orion and Scorpios. But the constellation that people remember the most is how SpongeBob Square pants got his laugh. In Greek cities they always made up stories and myths that became stories of the skies. Well the story went a little something like this.


Who lives in a pineapple under the sea, SpongeBob Square pants. One day he after a hard day at work in the Krusty Krab he and Patrick decided to go Jelly Fishing. It was around dawn and SpongeBob and Patrick were in Jelly Fish fields jumping around. They were giggling, when all of a sudden a jelly fish was awoken from his sleep. This was no ordinary jellyfish, this was the biggest of them all. Patrick and SpongeBob were laughing and having a good time when it was getting darker and darker. But it wasn’t the sky that was turning darker and darker it was the shadow of this huge Jellyfish. Patrick and SpongeBob had no defense so they started running. As SpongeBob was running he tripped over a rock. Now SpongeBob was crawling quickly and quickly, but SpongeBob had no chance.

SpongeBob woke up the next day in the Hospital. He had many stings all over the body. Patrick came into his room and cheered SpongeBob up. That is when his laugh started. Now when the Greeks looked up into the sky they saw SpongeBob Jelly fishing just like the picture below. The constellation was connected to Orion’s belt.

But that story did not end there. The Greeks thought so much of SpongeBob and his daring adventures that the Greeks tried Jelly fishing in the ocean. Many were killed and injured, but these deaths created fishing. Now the Greeks will take their poles (not as high tech as today) and fish just like SpongeBob did. Some fished for the sport of it, some just to relax, but most fished for food. The fish in the water were so good and tasty after being cooked of course. So every time the Greeks looked up in the sky they saw SpongeBob fishing for jellyfish. When people look up in the sky they will also remember how the sport of fishing was originated.
