http://haunsperger.blogspot.com/2009/12/texas-and-cheese.html It's been a while since we posted, and I still haven't gotten around to putting together an album of my Far East trip, so instead I offer this - a story Lucas created at school. He dictated the story and his teacher (Meemaw) typed it up. Here it is, unedited.
Texas and the Cheese
by Lucas Haunsperger
Once there was a man named Texas with a huge mouth, about as big as a living room. He liked to eat almost anything. He could swallow up most things in one gulp. The rest he might have to chew a few times.He was the biggest and strongest giant on the planet, and the most dangerous too. He was as big as a house and his head was in the clouds.
Once Texas found a giant piece of cheese, so big it covered the whole U.S.A. He thought the people under the giant cheese might taste good, but he had to get to them first. Since he had the huge mouth, he ate the cheese. It took him only fifty days, uncovering a state each day. He wasn't interested in eating the people any more because he was full of cheese. Besides, everyone thanked him very much.
He roared with laughter, saying, "Oh, you don't have to thank me!" He thought, "I guess people aren't so bad - I guess I won't eat them anymore."
The people in Texas invited him to live in their state because it was such a big state and they liked his name. But he began to get hungry again because the cheese was gone. So he decided to walk to California looking for food.
The people in California promised to feed him if he could keep them from having any more earthquakes. Texas made some glue from the salt water and red rock in Utah, and added some white sand from White Sands National Monument. He used a long pipe to put the glue into all the cracks and using another pipe with holes in it, he spread out the glue.
The people in California thanked him and as promised, fed him large meals every day. |
