    Oscar the Grouch was, as usual, grumbling about the noise and chaos of the city. He was tired of all the hustle and bustle.

    One day, he decided to pack his belongings and seek a new home, away from the city's constant noise.

    As Oscar arrived in the countryside, he was amazed by the calmness and tranquility. This was the peace he had been seeking.

    He found a cozy little burrow next to the stream and decided to call it his new home.

    Oscar started to settle into his new home. He decorated his burrow with things he had brought from the city.
