| There was once a great chieftain named Lamlam,
who lived in a huge cave on Guam. The cave was as wide as a kingdom
with glittering rocks and fine hand carvings on the walls.
One day, the chieftain's cook became sick and
was unable to serve him. The chieftain, becoming hungry, decided to build
a fire and to cook his own meal. The fire gave much heat, but the
chieftain didn't think it was hot enough. As he put more wood on
the fire, he burned his hand. Getting angry, he added more and more
wood to the fire. The cave started to rumble and to shake. Soon there
was a tremendous explosion.
Today, if you should climb to the top of Mount
Lamlam, you will not only see the surrounding ocean on all sides, but you
will also feel the rumbling and the shaking of the earth beneath your feet.
