問題詳情:
In America, there is a traditional story called a “tall tale”. A tall tale is a story about a person who is larger than life. The descriptions in the story are exaggerated (誇張的), which makes the story funny. People who had lived in undeveloped areas in America first told tall tales. After a hard day’s work, they would get together to tell each other funny stories. One character from these stories was Paul Bunyan, a hero who cut down trees in North America. Tradition says he cleared forests from the northeastern United States to the Pacific Ocean.
It is said that Paul Bunyan was born in the northeastern American state of Maine. His mother and father were shocked when they first saw the boy. When the boy was only a few weeks old, he weighed more than forty-five kilograms. As a child, Paul was always hungry. His parents needed ten cows to supply(提供) milk for his meals. Before long, he ate fifty eggs and ten containers of potatoes every day. Young Paul grew so big that his parents did not know what to do with him. Once, Paul rolled over (翻身)so much in his sleep that he caused an earthquake. This angered people in the town where his parents lived. So the government told his mother and father they would have to move him somewhere else. Paul’s parents had to take him into the woods where he grew up.
