The Dimalanta were a strange family that lived in Sinagtala, a busy town with sunshine-colored houses and lots of laughter in the streets. Mr. Dimalanta was an engineer with a deep voice. Mrs. Dimalanta was a ball of energy who loved polka dots, and their three kids, Savier, Sharry, and Lorry, were not getting along at all. The oldest child, Savier, was a boy who always rushed through doors, dropping things and mumbling "sorry" as he went. Sharry, the middle child, knew many exciting things but often just blurted them out without thinking about what they meant. Lorry, the youngest, usually had temper tantrums and felt very entitled. He thought the world spun around him. A strange thing happened one sunny afternoon while Mr. Dimalanta was working in his workshop and Mrs. Dimalanta was planning the yearly Thanksgiving. When Sharry slammed the back door, a gust of wind blew through the house with a poof! Sinagtala lost its politeness.
