Story about Pizza Land

 There was a really big Pizza Land.There are 4 countries in this land: "Cheese,ham,sausages and sea food.Ten years ago,sea food was the biggest country.But they were attacked by a really big fish.The fish ate the whole city,made a lot of people died.Just a few people were still alive,and they moved to sausages.
 Sea food are really nice and kind,so people in sausages really like them.And they built a very big country,with many modern buildings,high buildings,and a lot of companies,road,all together.And they also built a powerful army,so they attacked Ham city and they won a fight.Ham was a small city and their population was really small,and thier army is really weakness,so they can fight against the sausages.
 After the fight,they moved to cheese.That was a really small town,and a lot of people lived there,they tried really hard to build a big city,to be a city,like Ham and sausages.In there town.they had a lot of trees,lakes,resources.They lived really near each other,to help if someone have a trouble
 There is a really long river flow through 3 cities,the river name is Hot Cheese.The cheese just had a little bit part of the river,so they really needed the water.So they built the house near the river to have water.
 And now,the sausages city,they have a really powerful army now,so they kill the fish 10 years before,it ate the whole seafood land.
