a small town where all the houses were built on stilts above a big lake

 


Once upon a time, there was a small town where all the houses were built on stilts above a big lake. The town had only one grocery store, and it was run by a very grumpy old man named Mr. Grump. Mr. Grump was known for overcharging for everything in his store and for never giving any discounts.


One day, a young and ambitious boy named Timmy decided that he wanted to open his own grocery store and give the people of the town a better option. So, he worked hard and saved up all of his money to buy a boat and some supplies.


Timmy set sail and started his own floating grocery store on the lake. His prices were fair and he even offered free delivery to the houses on stilts.


Word of Timmy's new store spread quickly and soon, almost everyone in the town was shopping at his store and Mr. Grump's store was almost empty.


Feeling jealous and defeated, Mr. Grump decided to come up with a plan to take Timmy down. He built a giant net and set it up under the water of the lake, right in the path of Timmy's boat.
