Once upon a time, in a small colonial town called Boston, there was a curious boy named Sammy. Sammy loved to explore and ask questions about everything around him. One chilly evening, he overheard his parents talking about something called the “Tea Act.”

"What’s the Tea Act?" Sammy wondered aloud. His father explained, “The British government has made a new law that forces us to buy tea only from the East India Company, and they keep raising the prices!” Sammy furrowed his brow. “That doesn’t sound fair!”
