The origin of lake and mountains
The origin of lake and mountainsThe Origin of Lakes and Mountains
George was a lonely old giant who stood forty stories tall. George was lonely and upset because he had lost his puppy; his one and only friend. He looked high and low for his little dog, but she was nowhere to be found. Every time he saw rustling in the bushes down below, he would push aside all of the trees and dirt with his mammoth hands. He moved all of the dirt on each side of the land so it was in little mounds on each side of him. This made George nervous. He thought to himself “what if I buried my little pooch in those piles of dirt I left?” So he began to dig little trenches with the biggest tree he could find. The day was almost over, and the sun was about to set so George decided that he was going to rest for a little while. He sat down, put his left hand behind him and leaned all his weight on his five gigantic fingers. This left a huge imprint right behind those mounds he had dug before. Suddenly, there was some barking coming from the top of one of the mounds that he had made. The little puppy looked like a spec of snow on top of huge pile of dirt covered in trees and grass (what we would now call mountain ranges). When George realized that his little friend found his was back to him he began to cry tears of joy. He cried so much that all of those trenches and the imprints of his fingers filled with tears and created what we know today as our finger lakes and rivers.
