Paul Bunyan's Wood Pile
The year of Two Winters was long and cold. Long because it was Winter all Summer and then in the Fall it turned cold. And, man, it was coldt The boiling coffee pot would freeze to the red-hot stove; the cook's breath froze in the dinner horn so t'hat no sound came out all Winter and when it thawed in the Spring it blew for a month, steady. With ten stoves in each bunk shanty, each one of which required four cords of kindling wood to start, it was some job to get in th'e wood.
' When the bull-cook fell down on the job, Paul tackled it himself and with the aid of Babe, his big blue ox. he snaked in enough dead-and-down logs one noon to keep the stoves red hot till the next Summer.
