Tall Tale

      Once upon a time there was a very strong man named Henry.  Henry worked on rail roads. Henry could pound a stake in the ground with one whoosh of his hammer.
    One day when Henry was hammering stakes a very tall man named Gorden challenged Henry to break through a wall half a mile long.  
    Gorden said, "If you don't break through this wall before me, I get to use my machines.  If you beat me you can still use your hammers, deal?"
    "Deal," said Henry.
     The next day Henry and Gorden waited to get started.  Henry had two hammers and Gorden used machines.  At twelve o'clock Gorden and Henry started to break through the wall.  It took 
Henry an hour and a half to break through the wall. It took 
Gorden two hours to break through the wall.  Gorden got so mad that he hurt Henry with a gun and killed him.  But from then on they used hammers.
