He who digs a pit for others, often falls in himself

Once in the ancient Greece there was a quest made by God named Zeus which said that the one
who will solve it will become a new leader of country and he/she would become immortal
demigod. But if a person wouldn't solve it he/she would be traped forever in the labirint of
mystical Minotaur. Quest was simple, logical, but the trick of it was that no one known the
question before he/she said he will try to solve it. Many noblemen and thinkers tried to solve it,
but no one succeed, all of them got traped in the labirint and never came out. Gods new that once
there is going to be someone that will complete quest and become a new leader, but no one did,
yet. Years past since the quest has been given and in 384 BC Zeus noticed something. A boy, the
new leader was born. His name was Aristotle great thinker and great man born in Stagira. Zeus
knew that he will be the quest solver but he also knew something will happened to him,
something scary. He was a leader of gods, but he couldnt know all secrets between them.
Specially the secrets of his brother, king of the underworld and the dead, Hades. He didnt want
to have one more immortal demigod on Mount Olympus, that is why he transformed himself into
Plato, the teacher of Aristotle. He told Aristotle to go to Zeus and solve the quest. He said that he
has all the knowledge he needs and that he can solve all problems of world. Because Aristotle
trusted his teacher he climbed to the Mount Olympus, full of happiness and hope. There was Zeus
waiting him with a paper on which the quest was written. But when Aristotle held the paper with
quest he saw he isnt alone. There was also Plato, his teacher. He knew he was smart as him and
that he knows the way of he thinks. Aristotle was scared but there was no way back, he held a
paper with quest, he had to solve it. He sat on stone and started thinking. Hades transformed in to
Plato, thought he will be able to answer the question in no time because he is a god, but the
question wasnt made for gods, it was a question that only mankind could understand. For first
time in his life he was scared, he knew Zeus knew about his plan and he also new Zeus is
stronger than him so he couldnt run away. For his eyes quest wasnt there it was just a peace of
paper with one sentence which said: He who digs a pit for others, often falls in himself. He
looked at Zeus and changed back to his form. He knew his end was there. Zeus said the word on
paper again: He who digs a pit for others, often falls in himself! and threw lightning to him.
Hades got hurt, he knew Zeus will make him a human, but he also knew how to survive. If
Aristotle completed the quest he will become immortal, that is why he released Cerberus to get
Aristotles soul. While Cerberus was running towards Aristotle, he stood up and gave Zeus
answer to the quest which said If 1=5, 2=50, 3=75, 4=7525 what is 5 equal to. When Zeus read
his answer and saw it was correct, 5 is equal to 1, Aristotle fell on flor of Mount Olympus and
died. Hades smiled to Zeus and disappear to underground. Zeus got angry and changed his
brother into Monocerata (Unicorn) and made Aristotle a god, not a demigod or leader of Greece,
god of intelligence and mathematics God Aristotle.
