It was a December 24th morning in the year 201 2; in
Cincinnati (Ohio). The people were starting to wake up; the
city was all decorated with bright and colorful lights. People
walked, laughed and sang Christmas songs. There was only
one boy who was still sleeping; this boy was named William,
and he had a brother called Brian. Brian was a very
annoying person. He liked to play bad jokes to everyone.
