About 10,000 years ago there were two countries and they both wanted to keep the biggest White Diamond for themselves. Fred was the king of Lenka and George was the king of Longo. The two kings were both very powerful in their own



Fred wanted to share the diamond with the entire world, but George wanted it all for himself.



Fred was married to a pretty girl named Lisa, they had a daughter named Lola.



Fred was having lunch one day when he heard a loud sound that came from the back yard.



He went out to the balcony and he saw king George standing there. At that moment Lisa and Lola came running out.



Dad are you ok...oh you, WHAT DO YOU WANT,” Lisa calmed Lola down.


I have come to call you to war”



Bring your army to fight for the diamond on Saturday, but if you are weak you can back out and I can have the diamond, your choice,” George called “I will be there with my army, and be ready to fight!” replied Fred.



The two men walked away.



What George didn’t know was Lenka had something that Longo did not have. They had a Vidi. a Vidi is a dragon mixed with a spider.



On Saturday they let the Vidi out on the battlefield. then the Longo army came out on the battle field and the king said “What is that thing?” “Its a Vidi,” Lola yelled.”



Then the Lenka’s army came out and the king of Lenka and his family sat down to watch. The other king sat down as well. “Let the battle begin!,” the two kings shouted.

The Lenka army went out and cut the chain of the Vidi and directed it to the Longo’s side.



After hours of fighting the Lenka’s army won! Then king Fred went and got the diamond and gave it to the Vidi. The Vidi flew high in the sky and smashed the diamond into billions of tiny cold pieces with his powerful jaws.



To this day across the world pieces of the diamond fall from the sky for everyone to enjoy!
