Paul Bunyan’s Dinner

Paul Bunyan had arms the size of tree trunks. His chest was as big as a house. For dinner, he liked to eat a hundred hamburgers. He drank fifty buckets of milk.

One day, the river flooded. “Help! Help!” cried the people of the town.

Paul heard them. He picked up the whole town and moved it to the top of a mountain.

The people were happy. They wanted to cook Paul dinner to thank him. They cooked and cooked. They put twenty tables together on the grass. They covered the tables with food.

When Paul walked up, the tables were so heavy with food that they broke. “That’s okay,” Paul said. He sat on the ground and picked up a hamburger. “We’ll just have a big picnic on the grass!”

保罗·班扬的晚餐

保罗·班扬的手臂有树干那么大。他的胸部像房子一样大。晚餐时，他喜欢吃一百个汉堡包，他喝了五十桶牛奶。

一天，河水泛滥。“救命！救命！”镇上的人喊道。

保罗听到了。他把整个城镇搬到了山顶。

人们很高兴。他们想给保罗做晚餐来感谢他。他们不停地做饭。他们把二十张桌子一起放在草地上。他们在桌子上放满了食物。

保罗走上前去时，桌子上堆的食物太重了，桌子都压散了。“没关系，”保罗说。他坐在地上拿起一个汉堡包。“我们就在草地上野餐吧！”
