The People who Changed their Minds

Once upon a time, there was a little town called Sad People.  Everybody was sad in the land.  That's why it was called Sad People.  They had many problems there.  Some of their houses were knocked down, and they didn't have enough food because the rain didn't come that year.  So they decided that they would have to eat their food when it was not ripe.  The people wanted to move but all of the other towns had bad people in them, so they had to stay in their town of Sad People.  Unfortunately, all of the people in the town were not generous.  That means that they wouldn't share or help.  The people said, "We don't know what to do."  That night everybody in the land had to eat not-ripe corn and green beans for dinner.  They did not like their land.  They finally decided that they would help each other now that they had such a bad life.  One family helped their neighbor water their plants so they would grow.  The next neighbor helped another family cook some of their food.  The next family helped another family fix their house.  Another family helped clean their house.  Some people helped clean up the play equipment in someone's backyard.  Pretty soon, all of their houses were clean as can be.  They shined like gold.  They thought it looked like gold because it was so much nicer.  And then they erased the big town sign that said "Sad People" and put a new sign that said "Happy People."  And then they had a nice life forever.  And they lived happily ever after.  The End.
