The Three Sisters of Fate A long time ago,

In the land of the gods,

There were three very special sisters.

They were known as the Fates,

The sisters who could see and decide the life of every person in the world.

Their names were Clotho,

Lachesis and Atropos.

Though they were sisters,

Each of them had a very important job to do.

Clotho,

The younger sister,

Had the most magical task of all.

She spun the thread of life.

With a beautiful golden spinning wheel,

Clotho would spin a shiny thread for every new person born.

This thread was the beginning of a life full of adventures,

Lessons and moments of joy.

Lachesis,

The second sister,

Was the one who measured the thread.

With a delicate ruler,

She would measure how long a person's life would be.

She could see how many years they would live and the paths they would walk along.

It was said that she had a magical power to understand the choices people would make in their lives,

Even before they did.

Atropos,

The older sister,

Had the final,

Most serious job.

She held the scissors that could cut the thread of life.

Once she cut a person's thread,

The life would come to an end.

But Atropos was not cruel.

She simply followed the rules of nature.

She knew that when a person's thread was cut,

They would peacefully rest and be remembered forever.

One day,

A young boy named Theo was born in a small village.

His parents were excited,

And everyone in the village celebrated his arrival.

Clotha spun a golden thread for Theo,

Full of brightness and promise.

Lachesis measured the thread carefully,

Seeing a long,

Beautiful life ahead for Theo,

Full of kindness and adventure.

As Theo grew older,

He had many choices to make.

Should he be brave and help others,

Or should he choose an easier path?

He met people who made him laugh,

And others who taught him important lessons.

Sometimes,

Theo made mistakes,

But he always learned and grew from them.

One quiet evening,

When Theo was a wise old man,

The three sisters appeared before him.

They were gentle and kind,

And they smiled at him as they saw how much he had grown.

Your thread is long,

Said Lachesis,

Full of joy,

Love,

And moments that shape your life.

But now,

It's time,

Said Atropos,

Softly,

For your thread to be cut.

Theo nodded peacefully,

Knowing that his time had come.

He thanked the fates for all the wonderful moments in his life,

And as Atropos gently snipped the thread,

He felt a warm coldness fill his heart.

The fates watched as Theo's thread was tucked away,

Knowing that he had lived his life to the fullest.

They smiled,

For every thread they measured and cut was part of a bigger,

Magical story.

And so,

Just like Theo,

Each person's life is a spawn,

Measured and cut by the three wise sisters.

They remind us that life is precious and full of beautiful moments,

Each one part of a story that only the fates can weave.
