The entire city had already gone to sleep, except for a small light shimmering in one window. It was in an attic room. There, beneath the covers, a small boy named Carlton was hiding.

In the middle of one deep forest, there stood an mighty old oak tree. It had a beautiful crown, and its leaves were talked about far and wide.

Little Tony lived near the forest. He had curly brown hair. It always twisted in all directions. His hands were always dirty, his clothes torn, and a smile rarely appeared on his face. He was, in short, a frowny little grump. Almost nothing made him happy, and he destroyed or dirtied whatever he could.
