Bunyan and Babe Page #4

Something about

grinding up your bones.

Easy there.

I didn't mean to scare ya.

Me and my stupid jokes.

Sorry, I just

haven't had a chance

to use the "giant"

gag in a while.

Hey, how's that

bump on your head?

Must be feeling ok if

you were able to get down

from that chair.

That's one heck

of a jump for you.

Do you understand me?

Good.

I'm Paul, by the way.

Paul bunyan.

You must be hungry.

I'm gonna whip us a

bunch of pancakes.

How's that sound?

What's your name?

T-Travis.

Travis barclay.

Well Travis, my guess is

you're a long way from home.

I found you knocked out

underneath one of those oaks

over yonder.

From the looks of

the trek you made,

I'd say you slid down

a hollow tree root.

Am I right?

Yeah I think so, yeah.

I know where you're from.

And I know how to get you back.

Don't worry.

Let's get some

food in you first.

You're really Paul bunyan.

That's right.

I'm coming!

Keep your flannel on.

Oh, hey now.

A tiny kid?

Hah, where'd he come from?

Fell out of that root up-river.

Out of the root?

Well that means he's from--

that's right.

And that's where

he's going back just

as soon as he's

had some breakfast.

But he just got here.

Aww, there's so

much to talk about.

Eat your pancakes,

babe, then saddle up.

Saddle up?

Really?

I'm not a mule.

You know, you'd think after

all this time together, he

might treat me like an equal.

But no.

Saddle up.

Humph.

That's why my back's all out

of whack in the first place.

I really can't believe this.

How is this possible?

Maybe I'm dreaming.

Oh what are you

trying to figure out?

I thought you were a folktale.

Hah, don't tell me

you've never seen an ox.

I've seen an ox before, just

not one that was blue and giant

and could speak.

Plus the stories about you are

from a really long time ago.

You should be really old,

like 100 or something.

We're giants, kid.

We're three times

bigger than you.

And we live three

times longer than you.

That's how come we've still got

the youthful good looks, huh.

What is this place anyway?

This here is red river

valley, where we were born.

Paul and I moved back here

when he gave up the logging,

and-- well, haven't been

back to your world since.

Boy, I bet it's really

something now, huh?

All the changes, the inventions,

the modern conveniences.

I mean what are people

doing for fun these days?

I don't know, tons of stuff.

Like what?

What's your favorite pastime?

Sometimes I go to the mall.

The mall?

Haha.

What is that?

What do you do there?

I hang out with friends

and, you know, just chill.

You chill?

Not "chill" chill,

like "brr chill".

More like, just, "chill out".
