Goddesses dispute!
by 3Js
Rivalry sprang up as the three goddesses laid claim to be “the fairest one.”
The engraved inscription; “to the fairest”, in the golden apple incited the dispute between the three; Athena, Aphrodite and Hera on who among them shall reign the said title.
“A pageant would settle this matter.” The three said in an interview at the reception. Following up, they have invited Paris to be the pageant’s sole juror.
The decision has been finally made early this morning; Aphrodite crowned as “the fairest one” surpassing her two rivals of the race.
