Orpheus was skilled at playing the lyre and the flute , he also had the ability to make the Nature world come alive. Spring had been just around the corner , Orpheus made people happy that even made them dance to the music. It was the first day of spring and Orpheus was scrolling around the woods playing his instrument. He had approach to the most beautiful tree from all around the Woods. As he kept on playing , he had noticed that the tree was cracking up open. Finally the tree was open , Orpheus couldn't believe his eyes that he had seen the most beautiful girl. He had asked for her name and responded as Eurydice. Orpheus was already in love with Eurydice. As time went by Eurydice and Orpheus were happily married.
