The Bad Beginning

*****
Lemony Snicket

This story does start with a bad beginning. As Mr. Poe told the Baudelaire children that their parents sadly died in a fire. The children have to stay with a very unpleasant man named Count Olaf which is now their guardian. Count Olaf can be nice in front of Mr. Poe or anyone else but he leaves the children some very hard chores like for example cooking dinner for Count Olaf and his theater troupe.
The children would have a very fun time with Count Olaf's kind neighbor named Justice Strauss and also reading in her nice library.
Count Olaf actually wants the Baudelaire fortune and to own it he have to marry Violet but Violet have to say "I do" in the marriage if she doesn't Sunny will be dropped from the tall tower but Violet did a smart thing she said "I do" but he also signed the form with her left hand she has to sign it with her right hand because she is right handed. Her marriage with Count Olaf is canceled. Count Olaf was supposed to be arrested but that didn't happen because he escaped with his friends. The Baudelaire orphans have no one to live with they were about to stay with Justice Strauss but she wasn't a relative so they stayed with Mr. Poe for a while but they don't know who are they staying with next anyways where is Count Olaf going? and what is he up to next?
