Sisyphus

I named this pill bug Sisyphus. It was on the sidewalk that is on a hill. I was not sure if it was a pill bug so I touched it. Sure enough, it formed itself into a tiny ball and proceeded to roll ten or so feet downhill on the sidewalk. It finally came to a stop and I continued my walk. As I came around the block there was the pill bug still going uphill. On my next time around the bug was still going uphill. (Or did it get startled and roll back down the hill a couple more times?) Poor Sisyphus seemed condemned to climb the hill and roll down over and over, never ceasing its toil.
