Why there is Spring and Autumn. Proserpina is a very beautiful girl. She was assisted by her mother Demiter in caring for the plants in the ground. Sometimes the mother and daughter pick flowers that are still wet with dew at dawn. Sometimes Proserpina dances with her fellow maidens in the middle of the field. The couple's life is happy. At that time Pluto was sad. He is alone in his underground kingdom. He wants to have a queen. He has already gifted many young women with precious and beautiful jewels, but none of them are encouraged to live in his kingdom. One day Pluto went to the surface of the earth. He rode in his golden chariot pulled by immortal horses. The horses are moving fast. Coincidentally, Proserpina and her friends were in the field. Pluto saw him. She will be the queen of my kingdom, ”the king whispered. Pluto ran his horses and kidnapped the girl picking flowers. Proserpina asked for help. He called his father Seus, but he did not hear him. No one heard her scream except for a magical goddess named Hekate. However Proserpina also cried out. The sound of his shout spread through the hills and forests until Demiter heard that he was in a distant place. Demiter hurried back to Sicily. He first went to their home to see Proserpina. The girl was not there. Demiter searched. She searched for the missing child for nine days. He was carrying two torches that illuminated all corners of the earth, but he could not find the girl. Due to the size of his grief he did not taste any food or drink. Hekate came to him on the tenth day. He was told he had heard Proserpina's cries but he did not see who had abducted him. Demiter could not handle his work on the ground. The plants died and the people became hungry. As the days go by they get even hungrier. They approached Demiter and asked him to let the plants grow in the ground. Demiter's heart was hardened by grief. He told the people that as long as he did not see his son he could not take care of his earthly affairs. He searched as he searched. When he was hopeless he approached Seus. He asked the gods of the gods to bring Proserpina back to him. "If he is returned to me, there will be a bountiful harvest in the land," Demiter told Seus. Seus felt sorry for him. He promised to return Proserpina to him if the girl did not eat anything while he was in Pluto's kingdom. Natuwa si Demiter. Nagtungo siya sa ilalim ng lupa. Natagpuan niya si Proserpina sa palasyo ni Pluto. Nagyakap ang mag-ina. Ibig na ibig na ng dalagang masilayan ang ibabaw ng lupa na sinisikatan ng araw. Ngunit siya pala’y kumain ng araw na yaon ng anim na buto ng granada. Dahil sa pagkakain niyang yaon ay minarapat ni Plutong mamalagi sa kanyang piling si Proserpina sa loob ng anim na buwan, at sa piling naman ni Demiter sa nalalabing anim na buwan bawat taon. Kung si Proserpina’y nasa piling ng kanyang ina ay tagsibol at tag-araw sa ibabaw ng lupa. Kung siya’y nasa kaharian ni Pluto ay taglagas at taglamig sa ibabaw ng lupa. Lesson: *Keeping a promise is good manners and upholds dignity as a person. *Do not force yourself on others especially if he does not love you because you will only get hurt more.
