Thirty years of mess, thousands of cattle… and only one single day to clean it all. King Eurystheus hopes this smelly labour will make everyone laugh at Hercules. But Hercules has a clever idea, and two great rivers to help him. On the way he meets a shining white bull of the Sun, a king who breaks his promise, and an honest young man brave enough to tell the truth.
The fifth of twelve bedtime tales that follow the real Greek myths of the Twelve Labours of Hercules, told in simple words for children aged 5 to 8, with a calm narrator, soft countryside and river sounds and a quiet ending for sleep.
