were over six fet tall sitting down

days. His smoking never bothered

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

down trees and getting rid of the
stumps. Just like everyone:
Paul and Babe always had tim°:
play. When they did play though,
they caused all kinds of things
happen. Paul would ram into BaDe
and the trail he made would be aJ
deep as a lake. Then shortly
Babe would ram Paul at full

his specially made 605 foot too$
One evening, Paul Bunyan was
walking through the great ever-
green trees of Washington when
he heard his stomach growl like
thunder against rock. "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.
Once he got that fish bone out of
his tooth he flicked it behind his
