The Making of the Missouri River and Devils Tower
By Westley

      One day Paul Bunyan was digging for stuff under ground by Yellowstone National Park. He dug and dug until he made a pile of rock and dirt. The dirt got hard in the sun. Paul’s pet Babe, the brown bear, chased an elephant onto the pile of hard dirt. He scratched the pile of dry dirt. When his claw got cut up he left the elephant alone. Now today we call the mountain of hard dirt Devils Tower. The hole that Paul made soon filled with water and it is part of the Missouri River.

Paul Bunyan's Vacation
By: McKenzie

      A long time ago there was a man called Paul Bunyan. Once a year he would go to the Grand Canyon and bring a lunch. One day when Paul got to the Grand Canyon, it was really windy. He put his basket down for a minute. It flew away. He started to chase after it and soon caught it. He picked it up and went to a flat spot to eat. When he was done he started growing apples that he had for lunch. He had some water left from lunch and so he dumped some on each seed. They kept getting bigger and bigger. Paul Bunyan was 9 feet tall. One of the new apple trees was 7 feet tall and another tree was 8 feet tall. There were a lot more trees. Paul Bunyan laid his seeds at the start of the Mississippi River.

     Babe was angry at Paul because they had searched for him a whole day. the people at home were frightened that Paul was gone for good. They went to Minnesota and dropped the trees off at a giant lumberyard. When they walked home, they picked up Paul and he rode in the wagon home. Everyone was so happy Babe and the horse found Paul.

When it was time to go to bed, everyone slept so good you could hear a mouse walking around trying to find a piece of cheese.

Paul Bunyan Makes the Dust Bowl
By: SamiJo

   It all started when Paul was allergic to flowers. They all thought no one that tall was allergic to anything. But they were wrong!
    One day Paul went for a walk. He passed lots of houses along his way. He decided to go through farmer John's patch of flowers. As he was walking he started to sneeze. He thought the sun was making him sneeze so he kept walking down the path.
    Along came Dr. V. and she said to Paul, "Are you allergic to flowers?"
   "No, I don't think so," he answered her.
   "May I check and see if you are?" she asked.
   "Yes you may," Paul said nicely.
    So then Dr. V. told Paul to stay right where he was. As soon as Dr. V. came back she set to walk. She soon figured out that Paul was allergic to flowers.
    Dr. V. thought of a way to fix the problem by putting a clothespin on Paul's nose and get him out of farmer John's flower patch. Dr.V. tried to put a clothespin on Paul's nose. When Paul got near the edge of the patch he pulled off the pin. Then he started to sneeze again! That's how the Dust Bowl came about.
    Some people left the town for a few days because there was dirt two inches thick every were in their house. Paul never went by or in the flower patch ever again.    
   
 

Paul and the Mississippi   
By: Jonas
 

    One time in spring Paul and his buddies were sitting around in the cabin because it was raining cats and dogs. It had been raining for two days straight and puddles were getting to be about ten inches deep. After a while it had rained for a week and everything that was three feet or shorter was drenched.
    It had stopped raining for a while until Paul said, "I wonder what would happen if I shot my bow to the clouds?"
    So he shot it straight up and it didn't come down for a bit. Paul picked up his arrow and said, "Hey my arrow's wet." All of a sudden it started raining raindrops the size of softballs. Then Paul said, "We should try to build onto that two story building or we'll all drown for sure."
    So right away they started building. They even used timber that wasn't ready to be used yet. Then Paul stacked them on each other. By the time they were finished it had become a four story building.
    It took about a day to stock up on food and supplies. Ever since Paul shot that arrow it had been pouring nonstop.
    When it stopped raining the town was flooded. Then Paul said, "I've got an idea."
    Then he started writing, slipped it into an envelope, and mailed it. The next day it got a little chilly.
    "No wonder, it's Jack Frost," said one of the lumberjacks and there he came, sailing through the air like a plane. He asked what happened and Paul explained.
    Then he asked if he could freeze the water. Jack said, "No prob," and set to work. He left when he was done.
    In the summer it all melted starting a stream, then a river which is now the Mississippi River.
