The Leagend Of Berry

Once there was a man named Berry. He was the strongest and smartest man in the state of Alabama. People from miles around knew Berry.  Also people loved to tell and retell his amazing feats.            

Now one day Berry was walking around when he heard a loud squall. Berry did not see a thing but he kept on walking. Just then a giant eagle came swooping down and landing on his shoulder.                            Berry said “big guy am going to name you mouse.”                          Mouse said “cool name but I can only climb trees and swoop He said to the giant down from them.”                           Berry said “did you just talk.”

Mouse said “yup.” Right then Berry took mouse to the tallest tree in Alabama. Berry let go of mouse and off he went.

Berry said “flap your wings” So mouse did as said. Mouse tried to flap but he could not stay up.   Berry said “les try again”

Mouse said “sounds good.” So they tried 60 times before he could actually fly off a tree.             Then Berry said “tomorrow we will fly off the ground. Mouse said nothing to Berry. They got back to camp and started sleeping.                    The next day they got back to the tree.

Berry said “stay down here and I will climb up the tree. Then you will fly up to me.” Mouse tried to fly up but he couldn’t.

Berry said “try jumping and then flying. But flap your wings at all times.”                               “ok.” Said mouse. He tried 1000 times before he got the hang of it. And when he did he flew right to Arizona and landed on a rocky surface. When he landed he made a huge hole which is now known as the Grand Canyon. Mouse did not know where he was. So he flew out of the hole to look where he was.                    Mouse said “there he is.” So he went north bound.                                “Where did you go mouse?” hollered Berry. “I was lost out south.” Said mouse            “ok but do not do that again. There was a very long silence. Then berry breaking the silence saying “well since you know how to fly I guess that you need to go.” Sorry to say that but I have to do it.” Said berry.                      Mouse said “That’s ok I will find a new friend. Well thanks for teaching me how to fly.”               “See you around big guy” berry said                                                                           The legend says that if you go to that if you go to that tallest tree you will hear the voice of Berry and Mouse.
