Once upon a time, in ancient Egypt, there was a pharaoh who loved to be worshipped. He built a big pyramid for his burial and filled it with treasures. One day, a thief tried to steal the treasures but got lost in the pyramid and stumbled upon the pharaoh's mummy. The thief was so scared that he started to worship the mummy, thinking it was still the powerful pharaoh. The culture of Egypt was so strong that even the dead were still worshipped. The thief lived inside the pyramid, taking care of the mummy, until he became an old man himself. And that's how the first mummy's helper was born!
