The Gigantorous Bow Contest

So, yeah. Penelope wasn't ready to let go of Ody, as dead, so she like, made a contest and like, all the suitors were wimps so she knew how ingenious it was. She like, said you guys have to string Ody's bow and shoot an arrow through twelve iron axe helves and the prize was her hand in marriage. Penelope was clever, like a vixen, and wise like an owl. And so like, the suiter people were like, ok! No sweat! I can shoot an arrow through the axe things and be king of Ithica! No problemo. But boy! Were they wrong! See, Penelope knew that Ody's bow could only be strung by him and he was the only person who could shoot an arrow through the axe helves without grazing one. She's a smart one, that Penelope. And she was right!!! Ody came as a beggar...
