Why the Sea is Salty

All night long, the millsyone kept turning. The pie of salt grew bigger... and bigger... and BIGGER. The thief was woken by somerhing tickling his feet. 'What's that?' he cried. It was a HUGE heap of salt.'Stop!' he shouted. But the millstone kept turning. 'Tha't enough!' he yelled. But the millstone kept turning.The salt was very heavy. The boat began to sink, lower and lower. Soon, waves were slopping over the side -- and still the millstone kept turning.

When I was a child, I was taught by my parents that the sea salty because a man splled a lot of salt. So, I remembered my good old memory.
