A Tall Tale of a Short Man
A TALL TALE OF A SHORT MAN
By Cassie and Jill H.
Once upon a time there was a man named Joe High who lived on a farm in Tennessee. Now Joe’s dream was to travel across the United States of America. But there was one little problem; Joe was only six inches high!
Then Joe had an idea, he could fly across America! Joe had a hobby for inventing, and he was going to try to make a drink that would enable him to fly. For days you could hear Joe banging around in his little kitchen, experimenting with different potions.
Finally he emerged from his house with his new invention, flying fuel. He did not drink it, but instead he walked over to his car and poured it into the gas tank. Flying fuel makes your car fly!
Joe packed his suitcase and was off. After three weeks of traveling, he reached Arizona where he ran out of fuel! Joe began to fall and his things went flying everywhere! Luckily he landed on the back of an eagle flying by.
The eagle took Joe to her nest on a cliff in the Grand Canyon where he joined the baby eagles. This looks like the end for Joe High, but this time good fortune is smiling upon him. Joe lived on berries brought to the nest by the mother eagle.
One day, in a mouthful of worms the mother eagle brought, there was a rope she had picked up by mistake. It was a good thing the rope was long, for Joe had to climb fifty feet to the top of the cliff. He then walked to the nearest parking lot and hopped in a car with a Tennessee license plate and got a free ride home.
Joe never went on a long trip again, but he always remembered to take an extra tank of flying fuel wherever he went.
THE END
