"Simpsons Tall Tales" is the twenty-first and final episode of season 12 of The Simpsons and the two-hundred and sixty-ninth episode overall. It originally aired on May 20, 2001. The episode was written by John Frink, Don Payne, Bob Bendetson and Matt Selman and directed by Bob Anderson.
The family wins a trip to Delaware, but Homer refuses to pay the tax on the ticket, so they ride the rails and meet a hobo who sings and tells them some tall tales. First is the story of Paul Bunyan, with Homer playing the role of Paul. Next is Lisa as "Connie Appleseed," who tries to convince the pioneers to eat apples instead of buffalo. The third story isn't really tall, but a Mark Twain-style tale about Tom Sawyer (Bart) and Huckleberry Finn (Nelson), who go on the run when Huck won't marry Becky Thatcher (Lisa).
