Where did the weekend come from...

A hush came over the crowd as they made their way slowly to the large obelisk looking thing protruding from the ground. It was only yesterday that the street was clear of debris and now this morning this thing had appeared. It's origin was unknown but many speculated on a theory that was bouncing around. They had been working for many days now without a rest and as they made their way to start a five straight day of work it had arrived. A few braver souls had edged out closer then the rest.
For some uncertain reason it had a calming effect on them, a sort of lifting of one's spirits as they drew closer. At a distance it was vaguely indiscreet, but as one got closer it was full of amazement and wonder. They all stood around it, looking, wondering what to do. A decision came from the crowd. At the end of the day, they would take the next two days to study this calming thing. They would spend the next two days not working but taking time to embrace this new thing that seemed to lift their spirits. For they were weak and it was decided that they no longer wanted to be weak.
Thus it was born a way to end their weakness. If after the two days were over they still had not figured out this thing or had discovered it's unknown properties, they would work for another 5 days and then spend another two days researching it again. And this was called "The way we make the weakness end".
Which was later changed to weak endness and finally to weakend and then weekend as we know today.

And that's how we come about having a weekend and enjoying it so much.
