Paul Bunyan was an American hero. He was a giant.So people called him Giant Paul.

When Paul was a boy, his teacher had to say, "Paul, you should not put up your hand.”Once he did that and he knocked a hole in the ceiling of the classroom.

Paul lived in the woods.
He was the best woodcutter.
He could cut down trees very well.

He was the best hunter, too.He could kill ten running deer at a time.

He had the sharp eye of the true hunter.
His sight was so good that he could shoot birds that were flying miles high.
When they fell to the ground, they were already bad.

Paul was good at playing baseball.He used a big bat made of an oak tree.

He hit any ball, and when he hit a ball, he always made a home run.He hit the ball over the horizon.

He was a good catcher.He caught any ball. His team never lost a game.

Paul ran very, very fast.
When he started running, he soon left his shadow behind.
From time to time he had to stop and say to his shadow, “Hurry up, my friend!”

He was speed itself.
He was so quick that he could blow out his bedside lamp
and jump into bed before the light went out.
