The Enormous Iron Nose Ring of Babe
the Ox
Legend
Contributed by: T. Scott Smith
Olmec: Up in Minnesota lived the
biggest, strongest lumberjack of all time, Paul Bunyan. They say Paul was
so big that when he was a baby it took a whole herd of dairy cattle to keep his
bottle filled. With the help of Babe, his giant blue ox, he logged most
of the West. Babe could haul a whole forest of logs. Paul had to
dig out the Great Lakes just so she could drink.
Once, during the Year of Two
Winters, it snowed so hard that Paul had to dig down to find the tops of the
trees. Folks all over Minnesota were snowed in. "Babe, those
folks need help," said Paul, and he stacked up so much firewood on Babe's
sled that even Babe struggled to pull it, sinking deep into the ground at every
step. But deliver it they did, and in the spring everywhere that Babe had
stepped, a lake formed.
When Babe died, Paul saved her
enormous iron nose ring. Your quest is to find the Enormous Iron Nose
Ring of Babe the Ox and bring it back here!
Kirk: All right, thanks,
Olmec. Tell us, where is this Enormous Nose Ring?
Olmec: The Enormous Nose Ring of
Babe the Ox can be found in the King's Storeroom.
