Like last monday Mrs. Anni was still sick and I prayed her for the health. Eventhough the assignment had ben given to us about narrative story

Here was “Old Stormalong” story:

Old Stormalong was the graestest and the biggest sailor of all. He was a large baby, and then he grew even bigger. He was a big as the ships of New england. He drank his out of a whaliing boat. He slept on the deck of ship, because there was not enough room below deck for him.

“they don’t make ships big enough for me,” said Stormalong. Old stromalong went to sea with Captain Starbuck on a whaling ship, the Nancy Ann. They sailed to the middle of the ocean and looked for whales.

“there she blows! A whale! And another!’” called the lookout. “it’s a whole school of whales!” called the second lookout. “into the boats!” cried Captain Starbuck. Stormalong jumped from the ships into a whaling boat, but the whaling boat wasn’t big enough for him. He was so big that he made a hole in the bottom of the boat. The water ran in, and the sailors fell out.

“you big elephant!” cried Captain Starbuck. “i’m sorry i ever saw you.”

Old Stormalong became very angry. He did a wonderful thing. He swam back to the ship and took down a mast. Then he cut rope for a line. Next he put an anchor on for a hook. He made the biggest fishing pole in the world. Finally he put a piece of salt pork on the anchor.

‘i will catch that whale like a fish,” he said. Stormalong threw the line to a whale. The anchor flew through the air and hit the water by the whale. The whale bit the anchor and swam away. It pulled the the Nancy Ann all over the ocean, up and down, to Cape Cod.

Captain starbuck thought he had the biggest whale in the world. “it was a lucky day when i met you, Stormalong,” said the Captain.

Then the Cape Cod sea monster came up from the deep sea. The monster bit the whale and ate it all. It ate the anchor, too and, sank down into the sea.

“you big elephant!” cried Cpatain starbuck again to Stormalong. “you lost my whale.”

“i tried sailing, and i tried whaling,” said Stormalong. “ the ships are too small, and a man gets tired. I am going to be a farmer, and you can bet on that.” He jumped off the ships and walked through the water to shore.
