We are learning about Greek myths. Medusa turned people into stone. Her face is like the sun: If you look at the sun, you might get blind. If you look at Medusa, you would be turned into stone. It could never really happen, so the story is a "myth".
In "The Lightning Thief," she pretended to be a waitress. There were statues in her store. The statues looked like people. Some of their faces looked scared.
The food smelled really good. Percy, Annabeth and Grover were really hungry. Grover said, "I smell monster." No one gives food for free! Percy should have said, "Something's strange about this woman!"
They heard a hissing noise. She said, "That's the deep fryer!"
Then she asked them to pose for a picture. She started to take off her covering from her face. Annabeth put on her Yankee cap and disappeared.
Annabeth gave Percy a gazing ball so that he could see Medusa's reflection. Annabeth said, "You're going to have to cut her head off."
Percy cut off her head. Percy used his sword-- called "Riptide." Her blood was green. It was gross. Annabeth covered the head because if anyone looked at it, they would still be turned into a statue.
