Jack Stump Research Paper

Well today i’m gonna tell yall about the story of the great Jack Stump. Jack Stump lives in the great mesa of Arizona, but it didn’t start out that way, oh not at all. Jack Stump was born into being a single child with one parent in 1803. He was born in Arizona on a desert. He was an abnormal child. They say he was born 30 pounds and 35 cm!

Jack made small designs with the rest of the 30 minutes. Of course he won, he was the best. Everybody wasn't so happy to see that a folk that wasn't from their town had won.

Well they re-created it. The Great Mesa.
