Just drumming his Grump-drum and smiling his smile
Narrator Till one day his neighbors, each wearing a frown
Cried "monster!" and "kill it!" and burned the place down
Narrator The Grumple was frightened but quick to forgive
He knew he'd find somewhere a Grumple could live
Narrator He traveled by night, always hiding in shadow
And searched all through Georgia and then Colorado
Narrator Till seeing Fair Springfield, where once was a dome,
He giggled and jiggled and knew he was home
The Grumple "I'll find a nice house, where a Grumple can drum,
Why there's dozens of blue ones to generate income!"
The Grumple And so off he set, with a "Grumplety-Groo!
I've excellent credit and references too!"

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark

He wanted a floor plan with really good flow
Narrator nd found just the place! In the center of town
Was a home that was pleasant and best of all... BROWN!
Task: "Make the Grumple Move into the Brown House". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
Narrator He bought chairs and tables, though Grumples aren't rich
(and strangely are fond of mid-century kitsch)
Narrator He painted and sanded, real manual labors
And prayed that he wouldn't get killed by his neighbors
Narrator And lo and behold! The neighbors were nice!
Excepting, perhaps, the ones just to his right.
Narrator It's not that the Simpsons were awful unfriendly
It's just that they argued and yelled never-endly
Narrator A Grumple needs plenty of shut-eye each night
But Simpson-y screaming made Grumple uptight

Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
Narrator Would Simpsons be quiet, if Grumple asked nicely?
He begged them all once-ly, then pled with them twice-ly
Narrator But still, on they bellowed their bellow-ous roaring
And if they were sleeping, the fat one was snoring
Narrator If only the Simpsons had realized their danger
They might have respected this furry green stranger
Narrator And Grumple, that fun-loving, peaceable sort
He tried to find some way to be a good sport
Narrator To quiet the rage to which he was succumbing
The Grumple tried drumming, and drumming, and drumming
Task: "Make the Grumple Play his Grump-Drum". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 24 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
Narrator A well-rested Grumple is happy-go-lucky
A sleep-deprived Grumple? There's no one more sucky
Narrator The Grumple fought daily with murderous urges,
And dreams of dead Simpsons would flood him in surges
Narrator But maybe -- just maybe! -- all would have been well
Had Homer not done the next thing I will tell
Narrator Not paying attention while driving is dumb
And Homer's car, backing, crushed Grumple's Grump-drum
Narrator This drum Grumple's father had made for his son
Ere he died in the Great Grumple War of Aught-One
Narrator The drum went cuh-runch! And then Homer yelled "crap!"
And something inside of the Grumple went snap!
Narrator Down deep in his psyche a switch went flip-flop,
And poor Grumple's sanity burst with a pop!
Task: "Make the Grumple Lose his Mind". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 12 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
Narrator He waited till nighttime was darker than ink
Then into the Simpson house Grumple did slink
Narrator He snatched all the Simpsons with razor sharp claws
And just before shoving Bart into his jaws
The Grumple Thought: "No! I'd much rather watch them die slow
And give them all reason to holler out 'D'oh!'"
The Grumple "I'll bind them with tyings, this noise-ulous crew
And boil them slow-like, make Grumplety-stew!"
Task: "Make the Grumple Prepare Grumple-ty Stew". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 8 hours.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
Narrator f Grumple had bothered to tie up the baby,
He'd still be alive today, Grump-drumming, maybe
Narrator But Maggie was, after all, Mr. Burns' shooter,
If you don't believe me, go ask your computer
Narrator The Grumple, he never had any idea
That of all the Simpsons (who're drawn in Korea)
Narrator The deadliest, shootin'-est one of them all
Was Maggie, who shot his brains onto the wall
The Grumple The Grumple's last thought as life he did lose,
Was "Grumple you, Simpsons! You Grumplety Groos!
Task: "Make the Grumple Die Cursing the Simpsons". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 12 hours.

Quest reward: Cash200 and XP20
