• Once upon a time, far far away there was a
  planet named Fraction Planet.

• And on that planet there was a little country,
  Quatro. With a very small town named Equalsville.

• In Equalsville, there were triplets girls
  Quatre, Huit and Dix

• They girls were equal in every way. And no one
  could tell them apart. When someone would ask one
  of the girls to do something, they would usually
  say the wrong name. This made the girls very
  mad.
