History
The year was 1942. World War II was in full effect. That year, Günter and Arnold Stainton left Europe and moved to America. The ship ride from Europe to America was long. To pass the time, Günter drew pictures of ant-like creatures and gave them names. Timothy, James and Arnold Beanson was the names he gave them. He wrote a paragraph next to the picture which told a story. He wrote 3 stories during the boat ride. When he got to America, his son (Arnold) gave a suggestion to get them published. He waited until WW2 was finished and in 1945, he got the book published. But before it got published he changed the names of the characters. Timothy was changed to Dr., James was changed to Dr. Beanson and Arnold was changed to Beanson. The change was made because they all looked similar and the names were similar to not cause confusion over which one is which. A fourth story was also included. The book was called "Greeny Phatom Book 1: The Beanson Gang".
