The Great Llama

In ancient times, llamas were considered very rare. This llama was extra rare, it was purple. The king of gods, Zeus owned this llama. It was his favorite pet. Zeus took the llama everywhere with him.

There was only one thing wrong with the llama. He didn’t have a name. Zeus just called him the Great Llama. This bothered Zeus. Every day, he sat in his room, thinking about a name for the Great Llama. Eventually, Zeus got tired of thinking, so he decided to go on a long journey through the universe to find a name for the Great Llama.

Zeus and the llama got in a spaceship and started to travel through space. They stopped on every planet and asked the aliens if they had a good name for the Great Llama. None of the aliens had a name for him. They kept searching, but nobody had an idea for what Zeus could name his Great Llama.

Eventually, Zeus found the Great Planet of Alpacas. Zeus and the Great Llama stopped on the planet to see if they had a name for the Great Llama. Zeus went to the leader of the Alpaca planet, his name was Jimmy. He was the founder of the planet, and he was also the leader. Jimmy was a very odd alpaca. He liked to wear shutter shades, and he loved beat boxing.

Jimmy had his butler show Zeus and the Great Llama to the room that they would be staying in. It was a very big house. It had lots of bean bag chairs and it had a picture of Jimmy on every wall. Zeus took down the pictures of Jimmy because they really scared him.

Zeus and the Great Llama were allowed to stay in the house until Jimmy figured out a name for the Great Llama. Both the Great Llama and Zeus slept well that night, knowing that the pictures of Jimmy weren’t on the wall. The pictures were just too scary for them.

When they woke up, the Great Llama noticed something different about the room, Zeus noticed too. Then the Great Llama figured out what was different, the pictures were back! Zeus was really scared. He said,
“Who did this?”
“I did!” Jimmy’s head popped up from behind a lime green bean bag chair. It made Zeus and the Great Llama jump. “There’s a law on my planet, on every wall, there has to be a picture of me. If you take them down, more go up.”

Zeus and the Great Llama started to back away, slowly. They ran out the door and headed for their spaceship. Unfortunately, Jimmy had ninja alpacas and they were fast enough to catch the Great Llama. Zeus continued to run for his spaceship. Luckily, Zeus made it to his spaceship before the ninja alpacas got him. This made Jimmy angry so he got in his convertible spaceship and chased after him.

Jimmy caught up to him and Zeus couldn’t run away anymore. He had an idea. Zeus told Jimmy if he would let him go, he would make a constellation that looked like him. Since Jimmy liked pictures of himself so much, he decided that a constellation would be even better.

After Zeus got home, he remembered that he left the Great Llama on the Great Planet of alpacas, and he still didn’t have a name. When Zeus went to make the constellation of Jimmy, he made one of the Great Llama, too.

The two constellations were on either side of the North Star because that would make them easy to find. He made the constellation of the Great Llama wonderful, he stood tall and proud. The constellation of Jimmy however, was not the greatest. Zeus was still mad at Jimmy for taking the Great Llama away from him. In the constellation of Jimmy, he was making one of the weirdest faces imaginable. This made Jimmy angry, but he knew Zeus was still very mad at him so he didn’t do anything about it.

In the end, Zeus got a pet squirrel to replace the Great Llama. He named him The Great Llama 2. Jimmy left his planet to try and find a best friend, and the constellations of the two animals stayed in the sky forever.
