Hampames decided to make the planet next to Jupiter, so he could communicate with his brother easily. He used his powerful lightning bolts to form a planet. After he cast the spell, he looked at the planet. He must have said the wrong spell. Instead of a red planet, he made a yellowish planet. As soon as Hampames looked at it, he remember the fond memories of his mother making yellow urns.

Every time he saw her, she was sitting down molding urns. Hampames decided to call the new planet "Saturn" after his mother. He was still disappointed, though. "Well," he said, "if my planet is different from Zeus', them maybe we won't get mixed up." He liked the idea. He got a little bit overwhelmed and another spell slipped out of powers. He look at his new planet. It had many rings around it. At first he disliked it, but after a few days he thought, "This is the most beautiful planet I've ever seen!"

Pretty soon Hampames' children were born, and he formed thousands of urns all over the planet with his lightning bolts. After awhile, Saturn became civilized. People got bored of looking at urns, so they used them to store dirty laundry. Hampames got into this habit also, being so proud of his planet and forgetting why they were there. So to this day, we call things we store dirty laundry in "hampers."
