      Part One

Paul Bunyan was famous for being a giant and 

having incredible tree--cutting abilities. He 

was also known for having a kind heart.

   Paul was a giant! He was...taller than the 

mountains? Than the clouds? Nope. He was as 

tall as the moon. He often bumped his head 

against it. 

  Most of you have heard the story of Paul 

Bunyan, but this is another story. That's right, 

this is about Paul Bunyan's family.

   Paul was born a giant of a baby. He was 

seventy pounds! Eventually, his folks had to 

get rid of him for his size.

   So Paul set off on his own in the wilderness, 

and soon found a job he liked. It happened 

that he just happened to find an ax the perfect 

size for him! So every single day, he cut down 

tree after tree until there was a vast land of 

tree stumps in which we now call The Great 

Plains.

   One day Paul was coming home from 

another long day of work, like delivering logs 

to villages and then cutting down more. But as 

he was dragging his huge, heavy ax, he 

accidentally made a giant hole. It is now called 

the Grand Canyon.

   But except for his short trips to deliver wood 

to small villages, Paul was rather lonely. All 

that would change in a few months.

   On a cold, snowy winter day, Paul looked out 

from his camp and saw that the snow was blue 

from cold. 

   Suddenly, he heard a terrible cry. 

"Maaaaaa!"

   Paul mumbled,"Sounds like someone's in 

trouble," when he heard the cry again. 

"Maaaaaaaaa!" 

   Paul heard the sound was coming from a 

giant hill in the distance. He followed the 

sound, and saw some huge trees with no 

branches on the hill. He gave a tug at the 

trees.

   Surprisingly, the whole hill moved! 

   Paul took an even bigger pull, and realized 

that this was no hill. He uncovered a lot of the 

snow, and he realized that the "hill" was a 

giant, blue baby ox! And the bare trees were 

its horns!

   Paul said,"Poor fella. Tell you what. I'll take 

you back to my camp, and you can warm up 

by the fire. I'll name you...." and he thought 

for a minute,....."Babe."

   So Paul did what he said he would do. He 

carried his new pet back to his camp, and even 

though he was a giant, he still had trouble 

carrying the young ox. By the time they were 

there, Babe had already grown four feet!

   Paul chuckled, and couldn't help commenting 

by saying,"You and me are just alike. From 

now on, we're a team."
