H There once was a man named Johnnit; he lived on Mt. Potenuse. It is in the shape of a right triangle, and Johnnit lived high on the longest side. He was known by everyone in the town named Wrightriangle, which was below the mountain. The town hated Johnnit because they thought he was taking their water. One day when the townspeople got tired of losing their water, they walked up the long side of the mountain and confronted Johnnit.
