       This is the story of muddy mac

 Muddy Mac was the strongest man in the state of California. He wasn’t just the strongest man but he was the tallest. He was 500 ft. tall! Every one in California knew Muddy and loved to tell and retell of all his feats.

       Now one day Muddy went to visit Sumo Sam. Sumo Sam complained that that he wanted to visit Muddy but he hated to walk. So Muddy thought, thought, and thought. Then Sumo Sam said he loved to swim. Muddy then had an idea. And it was a great one.

       His idea was to make a lake. Not just an ordinary lake but a giant one. From California to Asia. He then told Sam. He thought it was a great idea. Then Muddy started to dig. He dug and dug and dug and dug and dug for two months. All the dirt he dug and threw created the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Then when he could just see Sam. He raised his arm to wave to him. Then all the sudden the shovel fell and cut off his big toe. He said “is something missing?” Then he looked down and found that his big toe was missing. He started to cry and fell over. He cried, cried, and cried. He cried so much that he filled the pit that he had dug. That pit is now known as the Pacific Ocean.                                                       Then muddy pulled himself out of the water. He went and got Sumo Sam to show him what he had made. When they got to the location, Sumo just jumped in. He popped his head out of the water. Then Sumo claimed “it felt awesome!” Then he stated that the water was a tad too salty. Muddy told him that it is because the water is actually his tears. He was quite surprised but he kept swimming.            Sumo asked muddy if he wanted to swim with him and he cried yes. So they were swimming and then Sumo Sam hit his head on a rock then he got knocked out. Then Muddy dove down to save Sumo, but an octopus had hold of his leg and started to pull on it but, Muddy Mac dove in after Sam. He had noticed what had happened. Mac started to pull and pull. The sinister cephalopod had one heck of a grip! So Mac pulled out his trusty shovel and bonked him right in the face! BAM! The octopus folded up and got all squishy.

So Mac and Sumo went to California. Mysteriously, everyone was cheering “Ho-ray!’ and “whoopee!” Mac and Sam were mystified. It turns out as Mac was digging he hit gold in the ocean floor somehow without noticing and flung it into streams on the mountains! 

       Mac was getting quite annoyed with all of the people ignoring his ocean, so he moved to Asia. The people there loved his creation. So he stayed there. The reason that you see the waves over on his ocean; it’s just Mac and Sumo playing in the water
