There once were four sprites. They were all female and they were all best freinds. The first one was named Springafora. She was by far the prettiest of the four and wanted all things beautiful. Sumrina loved water and the ocean. (She was sometimes considered the girl Posiden.) Autumerata was very fond of eating. She would spent all day searching for the perfect apple, for this was her favorite food. Winteramadus was the coldest of the four and she could only find joy in her sisters or in Changeitrust, and that's where our story begins.
The four sprites lived on an island near Tuvalu wear they lived happy and undisturbed. The island was covered in magenta roses and lala palm trees.In the very center was the four sprites' castle given to them by their father. The castle was decorated by Monicanica, the goddess of inteior design. (Monicanica is not in most myths because she didn't live on Mt. Olympus,but she was the one who decorated the palace on Mt. Olympus as well as many others.) One day a dashing young man by the name of Changeitrust got washed up on the shores of the beautiful island.
The four sprites immediately went about caring for him, for he was very sick after being tossed around in the ocean. Once he gained consciousness he immediately fell in love with Springafora because she was the most beautiful. However the other three sprites had fallen in love with Changeitrust too. Now Changitrust had a choice to make. He couldn't decide! The reasonable thing to do would be to build a boat and sail off of the island and never look back until he couldn't see the island and then he would look back and think "WHAT AM I DOING?" but by then it would be too late to turn back. No. He couldn't do that because then he would never again see his beautiful Springafora. He also didn't want to break the other sprite's hearts or break the law so he went to Zeus. Zeus told Changeatrust to come back in one fortnight for that's when he would have come to a conclusion.
When Changeatrust went to Zeus after two weeks of constant sweating and intense nail-biting, Zeus told Changatrust to go back to the sprites and live with each of them for three months each year. Changatrust loved this idea and he set off at once feeling very stupid for not thinking of this himself. However, once Changatrust got to the beautiful island he found not one large island but four smaller islands. He immedeately knew which one was Springafora's and went to spend his first three months with her. Her island was covered with new-born flowers and young animals. Sumrina's was hot and sandy. Autumerata's had growing apple orcherds and pumpkins with Changatrust's face carved into them in the hopes that he would choose to marry her. Winteramadus's island was shocking to Changatrust because it was covered in snow! As Changatrust went from island to island he noticed that all around him the whole world was changing with him. This is how we get the changing of the seasons.
