Zeeland is watching the TV with his father, Netherlands.

Zeeland: Wow, Mr. New York is really rich and great, right vader?

Netherlands: Indeed he is. Zeeland, you should go study.

Zeeland: But, Vader, why are we required to study English while those Britten are not? It's not fair.

Netherlands looks at his son.

Netherlands: Zoon, there is a thing my vader used to tell.

Netherlands looks at New York in the TV then looks again to his son.

Netherlands: It happens long ago.

Flashback

Dutch soldiers: Mijnheer, we successfully invaded the island of Run!

Dutch Commander: Burn those trees!

End of flashback

Netherlands: And our people burned their trees.

Zeeland: Eh? What's the connection of that to my question?

Netherlands: Let me continue.

Flashback

British soldiers: Sir, we successfully occupy New Amsterdam but we left Run undefended.

British commander: That's fine. We'll let our kingdom decide.

Netherlands: And so, the tradings begin.

Britain: WHAT? NO, NETHERLANDS, WE PREFER TO KEEP RUN THAN NEW AMSTERDAM. They have no single sugar here!

Old Netherlands: No no, we'll keep this, you keep that. I'll give you Barbados if you want.

Britain: Uhhhh Whatever.

Years later,

USA: New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, I'm so proud on hoe far you got. World Trade center, too much development, Me and your Grandfather are proud of you all, right UK?

UK: Well of course, I'm glad I meet you children.

Netherlands: Our grandfather looks with jealousy on his old sons on which he was forgotten.

Old Netherlands: I did a huge mistake.

Suriname: Vader, I need help, my land  is almost 90% forest, can you-

Old Netherlands: Yeah Yeah, Whatever.

End of Flashback

Zeeland: Oh, our ancestors really did a mistake.

Netherlands: Yeah so you should study English.

Zeeland: Does that mean that me and New York is related?

Netherlands: You are probably a far far far far brothers.

Zeeland: May I stop sty-

Netherlands: Shut up Zeeland, study that language for your own good. I'll off the TV.

Netherlands: (Taking his pictures from his pocket) Why did we traded you out?
