Read the passage.Hercules was always able to think his way through insurmountable obstacles. One good example of this was the time when Eurystheus commanded him to clean the cattle stables. Eurystheus knew they had not been cleaned in more than 30 years. Hercules came up with a very creative way to complete this task. He smashed two large holes in the stable walls and dug a canal from a nearby river all the way to the stable. The river flowed through the newly dug canal, washed through the stable, and cleaned it.
