Today we are going to tell lies. We are going to have some fun with a unique kind of American Folktale called, Tall Tales.......

It was a gorgeous sunny day, and my husband and I were just sailing along. The waves lapping on the side of the boat sounded like a rhythmic drum. Suddenly, the wind picked up, and I had to run to the stern and trim the mizzen sail. A wave as big as a wall knocked me right overboard. My husband didn't even notice!
