 It started when [[Zeus]] was bored. He did not like what he saw when he watched what was happening on Earth, so Zeus threatened the people that they must make things more interesting or he would wipe out every living thing. On Earth, they decided to start a big sporting event to entertain the gods and established the first Olympics with sports like running, wrestling, pankration and javelin throwing. Zeus liked what he saw and decided that for the rest of his life he just wanted to watch sports, drink and eat ribs. When Zeus' wife asked him why he liked wrestling, he told her that it was because most of the wrestlers were not wearing clothes, which made his wife also start watching the sport.
-The second question Springy answers is "Where were the Ancient Olympics held?". The story began as the Olympic Committee, [[Hercules]], {{Ch| Larry King}}, and [[Great Poet Homer]] were trying to decide where to hold the games. They wanted to have it in [[Sheboygan]], but because America was still wilderness, as [[Pocahontas]] was still trying to guide Lewis and Clark to the Pacific, they could not find a place so they sought out an oracle who told them to talk to the gods. The committee went to {{ap|Thor|Norse mythology}}, who did not care where they held it, and [[Bacchus]] told them that they could choose [[Olympia]], which had water which was excellent for brewing beer.

 The third question is "Why did the first Olympic athletes compete in the nude?". The answer is that unlike modern times, the Greeks were saturated with corporate sponsorship. One day the Olympic Games presented a new opportunity for advertisers, a large toga with advertising messages, but the athletes had problems competing in the new togas so they refused to wear the clothes, but they didn't get much further because the sponsors demanded it, so they decided to compete naked. The athletes soon found it more comfortable to compete naked and since the new record was set, they continued to compete naked. They decided that in Greece everyone had the right to dress how they wanted, and thus Greece became a democracy.

-[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] is writing graffiti on the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] when [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] passes him and asks if he is mad that [[Edna Krabappel|Mrs. Krabappel]] gave them homework about the ancient Olympic Games in a creative way. Bart tells him that if he does not pass the homework, he will have to go to summer school. He decides to ask [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] for help with his homework. Homer decides to help if him they can use [[Springy]] because he wants to keep his trademark alive and make some new business.

-They decide to make some films where Springy answers questions from Bart's friends about the Olympics but they have a problem: they know nothing about the Olympics. They ask [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] but she does not want to help them because she will not get any credit, so they visit [[Abe Simpson|Grampa]], who provides them with facts about the Olympic Games. Bart and Homer let their friends participate in the videos as a visual aid to answer the questions. Bart and Homer start filming. Their first question is "How did the Olympics get started in the first place?".

 Lisa has completed her film about the Olympics, where she tells the true story of the Olympics, which were not created by Zeus or {{Ch|Larry King}}. It was held in Olympia in 776 B.C. and Thor and [[Wonder Woman]] had nothing to do with it. The first games were held in a stadium where they played discus, javelin throwing, boxing, wrestling, and pankration. They competed naked to show their aesthetic male body and as a tribute to the gods. The Olympic flame was introduced in the [[Berlin 1936 Olympics]] as a symbol of Prometheus stealing the fire from Zeus. And bowling has no connection to the Olympics. Lisa likes her movie, although only 12 people have seen it and 14 million people have seen Bart's film. Bart then gets a visit from an executive from the [[Historical Channel]], who pays him $5000 for his film.
-Bart presents his movie to the class. Edna likes his movie but because is not historically correct, Skinner makes him go to summer school. Bart tells him that he'll do anything to avoid going to summer school, so Lisa presents an idea to Skinner, which Bart accepts: he will not have to go to summer school if he gives $5000 dollars to the Special Olympics Program. Bart does it to get a summer vacation, but after he does it, [[Clancy Wiggum|Chief Wiggum]] enters the classroom and tells Bart that he must spend the entire summer cleaning up all of the graffiti he made, which he saw on the surveillance tapes.

 The sixth and final question is "Has bowling ever been an Olympic sporting event?" Several ideas were tossed around when the games got their start, but they didn't turn out so well. From the start bowling was a sport that the whales played, but is now popular with everyone. The sport has not changed so much; in ancient Greece they drank before the game, which is still, happening today, and after throw they the balls, the winner is honored as Olympic champion. Although bowling is not a branch, sports are currently still played in a large stadium or bowl.
