What State did Paul Bunyan Come From?

Answer 1

Bunyan Tall Tales


In our fourth grade reading class we read "Paul Bunyan's Cornstalk," a story retold by Harold Courlander. As you may remember from stories you read about this famous lumberjack, Paul Bunyan never did anything in a small way. In "Paul Bunyan's Cornstalk," he planted a vegetable garden that caused a terrible drought. The corn and pumpkin roots he planted in his garden soaked up all the water for over 60 miles around. With the help of Babe, the blue ox, Paul was able to pull out the pumpkin vine. To stop the cornstalk from growing, however, he had to climb the stalk (which took him two and a half days) and lob off the top.
We learned that one of the things that makes a tall tale "tall" is exaggeration. Adventure and humor are also distinguishing characteristics of tall tales. We wrote our own tales about Paul Bunyan.

Paul Bunyan and Babe Create the
Grand Canyon!
by Jozy

One day Paul Bunyan and Babe his blue ox, wanted to plant trees. They picked the best spot ever but it had a whole bunch of trees already there so before he could plant any new trees. Then Paul cut down the old trees that were in his spot where he wanted to plant trees. After he got done cutting trees down he needed to dig holes next. But he did not have a shovel. So he called “Babe”and Babe came and after Babe got there Paul hooked Babe up to a plow and Babe took off so fast and Babe’s feet hit the ground so hard and the plow did to it made the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was 4 miles wide and 200 miles long and that's how Babe made the Grand Canyon.




Babe and Paul Create the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River
by Kelsey



Once upon a time Paul Bunyan, the lumberjack, and Babe the blue ox, went to the Southwest to plow where some trees of Paul’s used to grow.
The next morning they went to where the trees grew. Paul hooked Babe up to the plow. Babe took off so quietly and was so quick that he was like a bolt of lightning. Before Paul even knew it Babe was gone. Paul turned around and there, directly behind him was a very deep hole. He said, “Hey, I can make something out of this.” “I can make it the Grand Canyon.” “Well you know I have such a wonderful hole here that I just need to add water.” “But what if I had the Colorado River run through the Grand Canyon.” Paul thought and thought and came up with an idea. “I know, he said. “I a-a-a-a-choooo” Paul sneezed. When he opened his eyes there was hole from sneezing. “Aha this can be my Colorado River. All I have to do is add a little water and then it will be good as new. That’s how Babe and Paul made the Grand Canyan and the Colorado River.

Loggers armed with mattocks, axes and wooden forks stormed into battle. Among them was a mighty muscled, bellicose, bearded giant named Paul Bunyon (notice the spelling). He came out of the rebellion with great fame among his own kind. His slaughters earned him the grandeur of legend.
