hen Steven Wickamong was born, he could already walk. He only weighed 1/2 ounce, but was very strong. He was so strong, he could lift his dad up even though he was just born.
By the time he was three, he could run faster than anyone he met. Out of the many people he met, none were lighter than he, and he had met many people. Now, he was able to lift two grown men. When he was ten years old, he set out to see the world. When Steven was walking along the old dirt road, he smelled smoke. Running as fast as he could (which was very fast), he followed the smell of the smoke. Up ahead he saw a burning building. He ran into the building and out of the building carrying three people at a time. When he was done, he had saved 45 fish, 1 dog, 2 cats, 4 birds, and 103 people. One of the people caught his eye, though. Her name was Mary Necatere. It was love at first sight. She came up to him and said, "Thank you for saving my cat, Angel, and me."
Steven replied, "You're welcome."The next week, they got married. After the wedding, Mary started to tap dance. It turned out she could tap dance better than anyone in the whole world. Then, Steven wanted to impress Mary with something special and he had an idea. He convinced one thousand men to come with him. He stacked all the men up on top of each other. Then he carried Mary up to the clouds. The two of them sat on top of the cloud. They could see the whole world from up there. Mary thought it was amazing. After sitting up on the cloud for about an hour, Steven told the men they could go home. The men walked away very happy to get out of that stack. Then Mary asked, "How are we going to get down from off this cloud?" Steven replied, "I will show you." He told Mary to jump and use her dress as a parachute. Mary did as she was told. From the ground, she called,"How are you going to get down off that cloud?" Since Steven was so light, he simply floated down from the cloud to the ground. Mary was very impressed. The next morning, Mary Necatere and Steven Wickamong set out. They came upon a man. The man said he could run faster than anyone in the world. Steven did not beleive him so he said, "No, I am the fastest person in the world." Steven then challenged the person to a race. Mary was going to judge it. They decided to run to the lake, which was 100 miles away, and back. When Mary said, "Go!", they started to run. They ran and they ran as fast as they could. When both of them were making the turn at the lake, they both fell into the water. They were running so fast, the water started to turn and soon it was like a tornado underwater. They both jumped out. They decided the race was a tie. They also decided to call the underwater tornado a whirlpool. That is how whirlpools started. So, if you ever see as whirlpool, you will remember the story of Steven Wickamong and Mary Necatere.
