Weasel who tries to get into the Guinness Book of World Records
By Justin
On an island called Popuwili there lived a weasel. His name was Alfalfa. Everyone one of his weasel friends thought he was strange because he was trying to get into the Guinness Book of World records.
He was attempting the longest pole sit. The pole sit is where the person sits on a
pole. The record Alfalfa would attempt would require him to sit on a pole for at least 37 years and one day. The man
who started it was named St. Simeon the Stylite. He had sat on a pole for 37 years! First Alfalfa would have to prepare. First
he picked somebody to give him his food.2nd he found a pole to use.
Then the day came. It was August 1, 2000. When he climbed to the top of the pole he could see a village and a mountain and he also saw humans but the humans saw him too. Weasels and humans came from everywhere just to see Alfalfa sitting on a pole.
On the day of his 37th year It was very hot out. The pole was so dry that the pole caught on fire. Alfalfa died from severe burns. Since he didn’t make it he didn’t get into the Guinness Book of world records.
Pole sitting record
It's held by St. Simeon the Stylite, who spent 37 years on top of a pillar at Syria's Hill of Wonders. Crowds came to listen to the person preach until he died in 459. in the last 1,550 years this record remains unchallenged.
