This is the tale of the Magnacarta. This story has been passed down by word of mouth from JTSullivan to Min Sullivan. This version of the story has never before been written down. To understand this story, you must know a few very scientific words. At the bottom of the page, a glossary including some of the words used in this story is provided for the reader. Directly following this introductory paragraph is the tale of the Magnacarta.
There was once a man named Carta. Yes, that was the man’s name. He ain’t not alive no more. Why? I will tell you. He died. He died of magma. No one knows the details of his death. But everyone knows, or at least should know, that this man died of magma. You see, he loved exploring valcanoes. He must’ve been around too much hardened magma. You know how sometimes, if someone eats too much fish, they will turn into a fish? Some say that that was what happened to him. But it cannot be proven, so it is just a theory. Other people say that he got hardened magma dust in his lungs, and died of it. But that is also just a theory. This what if thing can go on and on. This can be scientifically proven. Carta’s neighbors wrote a long epic about what could have happened. All of the sentences start with what if. This long epic is as boring to read as the hundred page direction manual that comes with a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker is dangerous to use if not handled correctly. The epic is dangerous to read because you can easily get bored to death. The authors of the epic named it the Magnacarta. But it is more commonly known as The Epic of Carta. So there you have it. In just three hundred and twenty words I have told you the story of the Magnacarta.
