First Day in Whoville

                                    

                                          
Whoville was always famous for its Christmas festivities and celebrations and that is the very reason a bright, happy little Who girl named Martha May Whovier is coming to Whoville for Christmas this year. Martha May was about eight years old; she lived with her father and mother in the bustling metropolis known as Who York City. Christmas was always Martha's favorite holiday and that very year, she and her parents were visiting Whoville for the entire month of December. She was over the moon.
When they arrived, Martha couldn't believe her eyes. This town was small, but it was beautiful. There were garlands, bells, and wreaths all around, lights were strung up, there was a huge frozen lake for skating, carolers were out and about, and shops were selling all kinds of sweets and goodies in the spirit of the season. And the best part was that the people there were so nice and welcoming, unlike most of the people in Who York. Martha could still hardly believe that she was surrounded by so much holiday cheer and she couldn't ask for more.
She and her family had a little vacation home in town, in which they lived for their time in Whoville. After they finished putting their things away, Martha put on her winter clothes and headed towards the door.
"And where are you going, missy?" Her mother, Felicity, asked.
"Out. I just want to see the rest of the town." Martha replied.
"Are you sure you'll be okay on your own?"
"Don't worry, mommy. I'll be fine, I promise."
"Well, okay. Do you have some allowance with you?"
"Yep." Martha smiled and shook her coat pocket, which made a jingling sound.
"Okay, have fun, sweetie." Felicity smiled and gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead.
"I will. Bye, see you later."
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
And with that, Martha waved her mother goodbye and excitedly ran out the door. As she wandered the streets of Whoville, she smiled and hummed a little song to herself. Then in the corner of her eye, she saw a group of Who kids having a game of 'Simon Says', which was one of her favorite games. Eager to make friends, she ran over to them to see if she could join their game.
"Hi." She said, approaching the kids.
They all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to see Martha standing there with a grin on her face. They looked at her curiously, unsure of who she was or what she was doing here. One little girl with blonde hair and a purple coat walked over to Martha and gave her a friendly smile.
"Hello. My name's Donna." The girl said, offering her hand. "What's yours?"
"Martha May." Martha said, shaking Donna's hand politely.
"It's nice to meet you. These are my friends: Amy, Lazlo, Kylie, Gene, and Claire."
The other kids politely greeted Martha.
"It's nice to meet you all." Martha said. "Are you guys playing 'Simon Says'?"
"Yeah. Would you like to join us?" Kylie, a little girl with black hair and a blue coat, asked.
"Sure." Martha replied.
"You can be the leader, since my turn is already over." Lazlo, a boy in a yellow beanie hat, said.
"Really? Thanks." Martha stood in front of her new six friends. "Okay, Simon Says... touch your toes."
They did as she said.
"Simon Says jump three times while you turn."
Again, they did what they were told.
"Simon Says shake your heads."
