When Homer Simpson was a young boy, he had a lot of hair on his head. His classmates didn't think he was a handsome guy, in fact they tought he was stupid. He didn't study hard at school; he prefered to fool around and have fun instead of working. His dad wasn't very clever either: he never supported Homer in his life.
A few years later in high school, Homer met Marge. She was an intelligent girl who studied hard to get good grades.
When Marge grew up, she loved to play with her older sisters Patty and Selma. They were twins and they helped their mother to raise little Marge. That's why she's always been such a good student. But then she fell in love with Homer, who's the exact opposite. Her sisters didnt'like Homer at all, because they found he wasen't good enough for Marge.
After a while, Marge and Homer marryed each other and they stated a family together. They moved to a small house in Springfield. It didn't take long before Marge was pregnant. So after nine months Marge gave birth to a boy named Bart.
Although Bart Simpson looked like a cute baby, he turned out a nasty kid who always seemed to boycot his father's intentions. He threw his food away, he didn't want to eat vegetables and he puked on his dad's shirt. Marge was always the patient parent, but Homer often became angry. Then he attaked little Bart and tried to kill him for a few moments. Bart didn't mind that and made his father angry on purpose.
When Bart became a toddler, he got a little sister: Lisa. Little Lisa Simpson looked a lot like her mother: she was a cute, intelligent baby and she adored her brother Bart. She folowed him and copied him wherever he went. Bart hted his sister, he ignored her most of the time. But when that didn't worke, he even traied to kill her! It tooked a while before Bart realised that having a sister can be a lot of fun too! And from that moment on, he difended her with all his heart.
