Paul Bunyan was America's greatest lumberjack. He was the biggest man in the whole world at that time. He was much more than 25 feet tall.
When he was a baby, he would eat trees like broccoli. His crying used to make tornados that would make the rocks and trees fly into the air.
At thirty years old, he was stronger an bigger than ever. But his shoes smelled like all the American garbage gathered in one place, but only when he took them off. He could only make a bath in the sea. So Paul sometimes got lice as big as a blue whale.
If he dropped his ax he would split apart America. Then Paul and Babe the Blue Ox would have to push on America's two sides and rejoin them. Twice he dropped the ax, and it made the Continental Divide and the Mississippi River.
When he was 90 years old, he died. They buried him in Denver, with Pike's Peak as his headstone.
[This new tall tale was imagined with a bit of direction and a few place names by a young student; she'd never heard of Paul Bunyan till today.]
