Once in a very boring town called "Boring town", there was a bunch of friends who planned to move somewhere much nicer. In Boring town everything seemed gray and dull; there were no parks or tourist spots, there wasn't many jobs (and if there was they were very low paying ones), nothing. Just a lot of run-down buildings and small houses (mostly trailer houses).

So now about the friends; they were very creative, thoughtful people who never liked their town much at all. Because of this they decided to explore the Earth and try to find a much better place to live. Once when they where all taking a walk outside one of the friends tripped on a rock sticking out of the ground.

He fell and his head hit something hard. "YOOW!!!!", he yelled. "Are you ok?", asked everybody else. "I guess so", he croaked. He slowly got up with an excrutiatingly unhappy look on his face.

He wiped the dirt off of the place on the ground where he hit his head to see why it was so hard. A brown rectangle suddenly appeared on the ground. He ran his finger over the smooth figure. He saw a tiny round thing sticking out of it and little shiny gray things on the side of it that seemed to make it stuck on the ground. Then he suddenly knew what it was.

"A door!", he said excitedly.
"A door?" The others asked him.
"Yes, see, here's the knob." He ran his finger over it again. "Here are the hinges."
"b-b-but how could it be?" asked the others.
"I don't know," he said. "Lets try to open it!".

He turned the knob. Before he could open the door there was a quick flash of light and the next thing they knew they were all the size of a mouse. They were all closing their eyes tightly hoping that they would still be alive.

"Wh-What happened?" somebody asked. They all opened their eyes. It took them a minute to understand what happened. Then someone yelled, "We shrunk!". They all ran up and pulled on the door. It slowly opened and they saw a beautiful landscape with nothing on it except beautiful trees, flowers, grass, and a beautiful stream of pure, ice cold water.

"It's beautiful!" exclaimed one of them .
"It really is!", said another.
"Let's build a town here!".
"Ok!" answered everybody else.
"What should we call it?"
"How about Whyville?" said one of them.
"Whyville?" asked the others.
"What does Whyville mean?"
"I dunno. I guess it just sounds cool."

So they named it Whyville. And after a long time of hard work and companionship, it was done, ready for people to move into.
