The Legend of the Groundhog</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Do you know how Groundhog Day came to be? The tradition began in Germany where a</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
hedgehog was used to predict an early spring or foretell of six more weeks of winter. It was</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
believed that if the hedgehog came out of its burrow and saw its shadow there would be six</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
more weeks of winter. If it did not see its shadow, it was believed there would be an early</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
spring. When German immigrants came to America they continued the tradition of</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
predicting weather. However, they used a groundhog instead of a hedgehog.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawney Phil. Punxatawney is a town in</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Pennsylvania where the very first Groundhog Day celebration happened on February 2,</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
1886. People in Punxsutawney say that Phil is more than 100 years old! Unfortunately,</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
this is impossible as most groundhog’s have a life span of fourteen years. Most days Phil</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
lives in a temperature-controlled habitat in the Punxsutawney library with his wife Phyllis.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
You may be wondering if Phil’s predictions are correct. I am sorry to tell you that he is</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
correct less than half the time.</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">
Many people have asked me on my travels, what is the difference between a myth, legend, fable and folk tales?</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">
Myths, legends and fables are old stories written for adults and children. Folk or fairy tales were written specially for children.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">
Select the links below to read more about the difference between myths, legends, fables, folk and fairy tales.</div>

<li><a href="http://www.planetozkids.com/oban/what-are-legends.htm">What are legends?</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.planetozkids.com/oban/what-are-fables.htm">What are fables?</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.planetozkids.com/oban/what-are-folk-tales.htm">What are folk or fairy tales?</a></li>
</ul>
<li>What are LEGENDS?</li>
<li>Legends are also stories that have been made up, but they are different from myths. Myths answer questions about <strong>how the natural world works</strong>, and are set in a time long-ago, before history was written.Legends are <strong>about people and their actions or deeds. </strong>The people lived in more recent times and are mentioned in history. The stories are told for a purpose and are based on facts, but they are not completely true.<br />
Either the person never really did what the story says, or the historical events were changed. The purpose was to make the story more interesting or convincing, or to teach a lesson, like knowing right from wrong.<br />
Examples of people in English legends are King Arthur, Robin Hood and Queen Boadicea. A man who may have been King Arthur is known to have lived in the 5th or 6th century. But the stories about the Knights of the Round Table and Merlin the Magician may not be true. The point of the story was that the knights and their king defended their people and helped them.<br />
The character and deeds of Robin Hood may have been based on someone else. Robin of Loxley lived in Nottinghamshire around the time of the story, and he did help the poor. But did he live in Nottingham forest with a band of robbers? Probably not, but helping other people is important and the legend hasn’t been forgotten.<br />
Boadicea was first female queen in Britain. History tells us she lived in the 1st century and led her people in their fight against the Romans when they invaded. The Romans won and conquered Britain. Boadicea was captured and died in prison, but legends say that she escaped and fought on. This story was intended to encourage people in countries invaded by the Romans, to resist and fight.<br />
Like myths, legends are passed down from generation to generation.<br />

The warrior said nothing for his mouth was full, then he swallowed, and then he spoke. … He was so deadly, in fact, that his enemies would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness! … There is no charge for awesomeness … or attractiveness. … It mattered not how many foes he faced, they were no match for his bodacity. … Never before had a panda been so feared and so loved. Even the most heroic heroes in all of China, the Furious Five, bowed in respect to this great master. … But hanging out would have to wait, because when you’re facing the 10,000 demons of demon mountain, there’s only one thing that matters and that’s …</span><br />

It’s twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word? Sturdy, and it’s been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunset. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have… Dragons! …. This is Berk. It snows nine months out of the year, and hails the other three. What little food grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here, even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have ponies, or parrots… we have dragons.</span><br />

I wonder if I might follow him. Why not? There’s no rule that I mayn’t go where I please. I will follow him. Wait for me, Mr. White Rabbit. I’m coming, too! How curious. I never realized that rabbit holes were so dark and so long and so empty. I believe I have been falling for five minutes, and I still can’t see the bottom! Hmph! After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling downstairs. How brave they’ll all think me at home. Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it even if I fell off the top of the house! I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time. I must be getting somewhere near the center of the earth. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny that would be.

She tells him all about witches and her previous encounters with their ilk. She reveals that all witches hate children and want to get them because the smell of a child is particularly off-putting to witches. Needless to say, reading this as a kid was pretty scary. This sets the scene for one of the coolest supernatural children’s adventures ever. Unable to leave the country on a planned vacation due to the grandmother’s illness, the pair journeys instead to a luxury costal hotel. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing—other than the fact that all of England’s witches just happen to be having their yearly convention at the same hotel! I really don’t want to give anything else away, in case someone reading this post hasn’t read the book before. I will say that after first reading it, I looked at the hands and hair of every single woman I saw in public to see if she was wearing a wig and gloves (to cover her baldness and claws, of course!). Luckily, I never ran into any witches, and I eventually stopped checking for wigs and gloves. I did, however, continue to read and love the works of Roald Dahl.</div>
