When the men spoke, their words froze in the air. Everything they said remained frozen all winter long, and did not melt until spring.
Paul Bunyan and Babe left their mark on many areas. Some people say they were responsible for creating Puget Sound in the western state of Washington. Others say Paul Bunyan and Babe cleared the trees from the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. They prepared this area for farming.
Babe the blue ox died in South Dakota. One story says he ate too many hot cakes. Paul buried his old friend there. Today, the burial place is known as the Black Hills.
Whatever happened to Paul Bunyan? There are lots of stories. Some people say he was last seen in Alaska, or even the Arctic Circle. Another tradition says he still returns to Minnesota every summer. It says Paul moves in and out of the woods, so few people ever know that he is there.有一年，保罗的营地特别的冷。冷得以至于他们必须把表面的头发留的非常长。当他们说话的时候，说出的词语就像凝固在空气里。他们说的每句话整个冬天都保持凝固着，然后在春天以前不会融化。
保罗班扬和Babe为很多地区留下他们所作的贡献。有些人说他们对创造西部州内的普吉特海湾十分负责。其他人说保罗班扬和Babe清理了北达科他和南达科他所有的树。他们为这个地区的农业做好了准备。
Babe，这头蓝色的公牛在南达科他死去了。有一个故事说它是因为吃了太多的烤饼。保罗在这里埋葬了他的老朋友。今天，那个埋葬Babe的地方被称为布拉克山。
保罗班扬发生了什么事？这里有很多故事。有些人说他在阿拉斯加州最后出现，甚至是北极圈。另一个传说他仍然在每个夏天都会返回明尼苏达州。保罗住了进去，脱离了险境。所以几乎没有人知道他在这里。
