Text and Images from Lumberjack Mack
Not so long ago, in a village very close to here. Was a forest filled with birds, raccoon, and deer.
Now the hero of our story is Lumberjack Mack A burly woodsman who piles firewood by the stack.
Now old man winter blew in, it was a very cold breeze. “If I don’t do something,” Mack declared “I swear I’ll Freeze!”
So he grabbed his axe. ONE swing, TWO swings, and Three! Down fell one mighty tree!
