• Once upon a time, in a land that was somewhat far away but still close by, there lived a square named King Smitty. King Smitty was the ruler of the 1st Quadrant of the Great Coordinate Grid. King Smitty had loyal subjects that were rectangles and rhombi. Little did King Smitty know that his little kingdom/quadrant was about to be attacked. The attacker was none other than Ted the Evil Triangle! Ted was once a rectangle long ago in the 1st Quadrant, until he suffered an accident that knocked off one of his sides and turned him into a triangle, a very mean, angry, evil triangle.
    Ted had an army that was waiting to go to the first quadrant. It consisted of isosceles triangles, acute triangles, obtuse triangles, right triangles, and the horrible scalene triangles. They all left the 1st Quadrant when Ted left, and then they set up their own country in the 3rd Quadrant of the Great Coordinate Grid. Ted wanted his revenge on King Smitty for kicking Ted out of the 1st Quadrant for his wicked ways. So Ted came up with a plan for a takeover of the 1st Quadrant.
    Ted knew he had to get an ally to defeat King Smitty. Ted decided to go the 2nd Quadrant in order to gain an ally. This ally was Sir Cumference, the ruler of the 2nd Quadrant. Sir Cumference ruled over many circles, ovals, and spheres. He had no trouble with King Smitty, but Ted told him otherwise. Ted made up a story about how King Smitty was making fun of Sir Cumference because he wasn’t a polygon, due to the fact that he had no sides or angles. This made him mad, so Sir Cumference and the rest circles joined Ted and his Triangle Army.
    There was one thing that Ted didn’t know about though. King Smitty found out about Ted’s plans to take over the 1st Quadrant. He decided to make a perpendicular wall on the Y and X axis, separating the 1st Quadrant from the rest of the Quadrants. Ted had no idea this was happening.
    So Ted, Sir Cumference, and the Triangle/Circle Army marched on to the 1st Quadrant. King Smitty and his friend, the ruler of the 4th Quadrant, Lady Priscilla Pentagon looked on to see what will happen. When Ted and his army came to the wall, they were very confused and surprised. They had no idea other polygons came through the wall. The triangles and circles were scared and ran away. Sir Cumference ran back to the 2nd Quadrant too. Ted the Evil Triangle didn’t though. He ran into the gate while riding a Circlesaurus Rex named Ralph in order to get to King Smitty and Lady Pentagon.
    So Ted and Ralph made it to King Smitty’s castle. Ted was not happy to see King Smitty, but he wanted his revenge. But before he could get it, King Smitty and Queen Priscilla gave him a bag. In this bag was Ted’s lost side from when he was happy rectangle. He reattached it, making sure his angles were 90 degrees and his diagonals were congruent like a rectangle is supposed have. Ted was very happy now.
    After this was done, King Smitty took down the Great Perpendicular Wall and made peace with everyone. Ted the Evil Triangle was now known as Ted the Pretty Good Rectangle. And everyone lived happily ever after.

    THE END
