Origin of a Surname
How I Got My Name: By Quinn
Once in the land of Jawake boys would eat a lot. One day they were running out of food. The king asked the wise spider what they should do. He didn’t know what to do so he crawled across the world. He saw a man. Everyone was asking him for help. The spider asked him what they should do. He said ‘gust a son.’ The spider was wise, but he did not know what that meant. so he asked again. It means when a boy eats too much call for the great spirit to blow him away. The spider told the king and they didn’t run out of food any more.
One day the king said, ” What shall we call that man?” The spider said ‘Gustason.’ Yes, that is what we shall call him. And whenever the king says his name they all bow down and thank him for his wiseness.
