Question

Can someone plzzzzz help me shorten this?? It's for my essay about Hercules that's due tomorrow...

"One example of his incredible skill is when he found out how to kill the 12 headed hydra that grew 2 more heads for every head chopped off. He got his friend to hold torches to the neck of every head he chopped off to keep the head from growing back. Then after he finished that, he put the hydra under a huge and heavy rock. This prevented it from harming any other human and he completed his task. Another example of this is how he completed cleaning the infinite stalls from livestock and cattle manure as one of his tasks. He knew he could never do it by cleaning up a pile at a time, so he flushed the stalls out by using the river and completed this task."

I would really appreciate it : )

Answer 1

Answer: An example of his incredible skill is when he found how to defeat the 12 headed hydra, which grew 2 new heads for every one that's chopped off. Holding torches over the neck of every head he chopped off kept them from growing back. When the hydra was no longer a threat, Hercules put it under a huge, heavy rock, preventing it from terrorizing the people again and also completing his task. Another example is when Hercules cleaned the livestock stalls and cattle manure. He knew he could never do it by cleaning one pile at a time, so he used the river to flush out the stalls instead.

Explanation: I'm not sure if this is any shorter but hope it helps!
