Once upon a time in ancient Greece, there lived a beautiful boy named Hyacinthus. One sunny day, Apollo called out, "Hyacinthus, come play with me! Let's throw the discus!" Hyacinthus smiled and replied, "I am ready, Apollo! Let’s see who can throw it the furthest!" They both laughed as they ran to the open field, excited for their game.

With a strong swing, Apollo threw the discus, sending it soaring high into the sky. The metal plate glinted in the sunlight like a shooting star. Hyacinthus cheered, "Wow! That was an amazing throw! Now it’s my turn!" He took a deep breath and threw the discus with all his might, watching as it spiraled beautifully across the sky.

As the discus came down, Hyacinthus raced to catch it. "I’ll get it!" he shouted, his heart racing with excitement. But suddenly, the discus struck the ground and bounced back. With a terrible fate, it hit Hyacinthus on the forehead. Apollo gasped, his face turning pale, "No! Hyacinthus!" he cried, rushing to his side.

Hyacinthus fell to the ground, the sunlight shimmering on his face. Apollo held him tightly, tears in his eyes. "Please, don’t leave me!" he whispered. Hyacinthus smiled weakly and said, "I will always be with you, Apollo." But Apollo could only watch as his friend became weaker.
