Prologue

In a world where history doesn't matter, chaos is on the loose, and body hair is
everywhere? There lived Mr. Moustache the biggest disbeliever of all!

Mr. Moustache is a disbeliever! He doesn’t think that history is important. So one day,
Mr. Moustache decided that it would be a good idea to visit the white house to steal
the Declaration of Independence and prove that he was right and you don’t need
history nor is it important!

He went to the White House and saw the Declaration. He went to take the paper. But
just then President Goatee tried to stop him, but it was too late. Mr. Moustache touched
the glass, then - BOOM!!

Chapter One - Declaration of Independence

When Mr. Moustache opened his eyes, he got dizzy. His head felt weird and the world
spun around him and everything seemed to get disordered. Mr. Moustache sat up. He
was not in the White House anymore, he was on some cobblestone floor. He looked
weird, his mustache was in a different style. He looked around and noticed the house
was made out of wood. He looked around and noticed something odd...he was not in
Washington D.C. anymore. He got up and looked around and kept walking straight until
he saw an old town with people in different clothing than usual. ¨Where am I?!¨ Cried Mr.
Moustache as he looked around.

Declaration of Independence

He saw Ear hair, nose hair, even legs hair walk around but there seemed to be some guys
who were very important, more important. He walked closer to a building and was shoved
in by a guard. Who had mistaken him for General George Washing-Stache. He looked
around and saw some of the most important people in the history of the american
revolution. There stood Thomas French-Braids writing down the Declaration of
Independence. There was the Declaration of Independence. It was a document that
states freedom to the thirteen colonies. So they could get away from England. He
remembers that it was the document adopted at the Second Continental Congress on July
4th, 1776. But that didn’t make any sense to him, because history isn’t important, right?

Chapter Two - Legislative Branch

Just then he was swirled up again and dropped right into the capital of Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. It was present day again but how did I get here from July 4th, 1776. He
found a door marked Legislative room he opened the door and saw people making
laws. “How cool,” he thought. Then he saw they make up Congress and several
government agencies. “Awesome” he wonders. He walked around on one side of the
room he saw a sign marked House of Representatives and one marked The Senate. It
appeared to him like they were taking votes. And deciding who would be the next
leader of the groups.

Legislative Branch

The House of Representatives was the lower house of the United States Congress. There
seemed to be at least 435 elected officials. It also looked like every person had their own
elected seat. They looked very important.

Then I turn and see the Senate. They were kind of like the House of Representatives but
different. They were the Senators selected for a four year term. They help decide laws to
make in the state because every state has a senate. Both of these groups of people are
very important to the state, and the country. Maybe I was wrong about history. Then
again I am in present day so how is that really history?

Chapter Three - Executive Branch

Then the winds came and whirled and twirled as usual. “ Not again” cried Mr.
Moustache. This time when he woke up he looked around again and saw he was back
in the white house but then saw darkness as National Security knocked him out. When
he woke up, he saw the president Goatee sitting across from him in a dark
room...alone.

Executive Branch

“Listen, you must never tell anyone what you saw when you touched that Declaration.
We will give you anything you want” Mr.Moustache´s head was going a mile a minute.
He told the president that he just needed some questions answered...was he really
going to believe the government?

“What do you do? As in for the Executive Branch?”

“Well, the branch is made up of the federal and state government that is mainly
responsible for support, putting in and forcing the laws made by the Legislative
Branch and interpreted by the Judicial Branch.” explained Mr. Moustache

Chapter Four - Judicial Branch

Mr. Moustache agreed to not tell anyone as he began to process everything he had
just heard. “Okay...what about the Judicial Branch?”
“Okay, basically it is a court system made up of local, states and federal governments,
responsible for making the laws passed by the Legislative Branch and forced by the
Executive Branch.”

Judicial Branch

“So you're telling me” Mr. Moustache asked “ that is a court system made up of people
from around the area.”

“Yes” agreed the President

“ They have state and federal governments and responsible for making the laws
passed by the Legislative Branch and forced by the Executive Branch.”summarized Mr.
Moustache

“Yes, they are a very important part of our world, our country, and our history” replied
President Goatee

On his way out the president showed him a small book called the bill of rights ...

“Wow I can’t even understand how amazing and important that was” Mr. Moustache
rambled

Epilogue

Mr. Moustache agreed once again as he crammed all of that into his head. He assured
the president that he would not tell anyone and left. As he left, he was escorted by
bodyguards. Soon after they left him too, once he was out of the White House. He
began to walk home, thinking about everything that had happened today. He wished
every day could be like that. And Learned that history is very important! Even if it is
happening now, it is still making history. Mr. Moustache lived the rest of his life out by
teaching the world all about history.
