    I like that one!

    There’s also the story of the constellation Corvus and how it lies in the night sky near Hydra the water snake and Crater the cup. Apollo sent Corvus to a spring with his cup for some water. But Corvus was distracted by some ripening figs, and was very late by the time he returned to Apollo with water. As an excuse, he brought Hydra in his claws and said that she was what had distracted him. Apollo, being the god of light and truth, wasn’t fooled. He banished Corvus, Hydra, and Crater to the sky, where they turn forever.
