The World and Paul Bunyan By TAYSHA HODGSON This is a story of a very big friendly man. He was bigger than any mountain and taller than the highest tree. He had a best friend, but not a friend like you or me. It was in fact, an ox. This ox was as blue as the sky and as rowdy as a small child who had just eaten three pounds of candy. Paul called his friend Babe. This story doesn't take place in any specific area; in- stead it takes place nowhere and everywhere and ends farthest west in California. You see, Paul and Babe were friends ever since they met each °thrvadth:evmade  °re friendjPaUl had a tende= to Yl;:nt eryone that was in need.

"Man all this walkin' has made me hungry and the only thing that is going to satisfy my great hunger is right now." So he set out for a place called Seattle, a fisherman once told him Seattle was the best place for fish. Now since Paul was a 50,000 ft. gi- ant it only took him 20 minutes to get there since every step he took was 500 yards long. Once he was there he stuck his huge hand into the harbor, it wasn't that deep, only about up to his elbow. Paul knew he couldn't take too much only as much as he needed, so he took a couple hun- dred fish and shoved era' in his mouth. They were good, but better when cooked. As Paul started to leave he noticed there was a very annoying fish bone stuck between picks.
