Once upon a time, there was a boy named Ralph who was so happy living in the deep backwoods of Massachusetts with his family.

He had miles and miles of forest to run through, and he enjoyed the company of the wildlife that surrounded his home.

"Hey Rufus! Wanna go for a walk buddy?"

Ralph's home was located close enough to the big city where he and his family could go have fun on the weekends. There was always so much to do.

Ralph especially loved watching the big city teams win championship after championship in every major professional sport.

Ralph also loved to go to the park where he and Rufus could run and play fetch. There was always so many little creatures running around, and it was such a peaceful place where one could go and reflect about life.

"It's always so much fun here," thought Ralph.

Rufus wagged his tail in agreement.

One day, Ralph noticed that something just wasn't right. Everyone seemed very quiet and was just sort of minding their own business until Mother spoke.

"Ralph, we need to talk about something. Do you have a minute?" asked Mother.

Ralph replied, "Sure Mom! What is it?"

"Well," said Mother. "Do you remember that job opportunity I told you about last week?"

"Yes," said Ralph.

"Well, I got the job! We're moving to Buffalo," exclaimed Mother with joy.

Ralph's eyes welled with tears and his jaw seemed to drop. He stood motionless for moment before he ran silently from the room.

"Well, what do you think?"

Ralph ran and ran and didn't stop until he was deep in the forest. What was he going to do? He thought about his school, his friends, and everything that he loved to do in town. He thought about having to say goodbye to everyone and everything. He knew he would miss Massachussetts immensely, and he didn't believe Buffalo could ever measure up. By this time, the veil of dusk had quickly enveloped the forest and Ralph grew weary.

"Stupid Buffalo! They don't even have any sports championships! Their football team went to four straight Super Bowls and lost every time!"
