00:32 Once upon a time, there was a little house on a little hill way out in the country.

00:39 [Music]

00:41 She was a happy little house, for she loved the country life.

00:45 The peace and quiet, the warm sun on her roof, and the whisper of the summer breeze around her eaves.

00:54 [Music]

01:17 As time passed by, the little house was blessed with new additions and distractions.

01:24 [Music]

01:27 But little pains, even broken ones, are soon forgotten.

01:32 [Music]

01:36 It was only at night that the little house felt just a little bit lonely,

01:41 and wondered what it would be like to have other houses around to talk to.

01:47 Then she would gaze wistfully toward the distant lights of the city,

01:51 never realizing that all the time, those lights were coming closer and closer.

01:58 [Music]

02:14 Gracious me, thought the little house, what perfectly elegant neighbors.

02:20 [Music]

02:23 Why, I'm right in the very center of the social world.

02:27 [Music]

02:42 Land sakes, I was only trying to be neighborly.

02:46 [Music]

02:54 Stay aloft! Go! Stay aloft!

02:58 [Music]

03:18 My, my, thought the little house, what a pity.

03:25 Still, they weren't very nice.

03:28 The years rolled faster now, and the little house saw the dawn of a new century.

03:33 [Music]

03:37 The tempo of life had quickened.

03:39 [Music]

03:41 Everything was bigger and better, for this was the age of progress.

03:47 Well, do tell. Here I am, completely surrounded by progress.

03:54 [Music]

03:57 Ah, shut up!

03:59 Say, who you telling to shut up?

04:02 [Music]

04:04 Oh, yeah! Try that on your saxophone!

04:07 Who says shut up?

04:08 I say so!

04:09 Go on, you big mouth!

04:11 [Music]

04:14 If only I could go with them, thought the little house.

04:17 But of course, she couldn't.

04:19 Come what may, she had to stand her ground.

04:23 [Music]

04:25 Should all the crazers be forgot, and age of old and dry!

04:34 That's prelurious!

04:37 But the little house felt that she could never, never be happy again.

04:42 Not with this awful, empty feeling inside.

04:46 [Music]

04:48 [Crash]

04:50 [Explosion]

04:52 Well, there's one thing about progress.

04:56 It always...

04:58 [Crash]

05:00 ...progresses.

05:01 [Explosion]

05:04 [Cough]

05:06 Well, good riddance.

05:09 Maybe now I can have a little peace and...

05:13 Uh-oh.

05:15 Now what?

05:18 [Music]

05:21 [Squeaking]

05:25 [Crash]

05:27 [Music]

05:30 [Crash]

05:33 [Music]

05:36 [Squeaking]

05:45 [Music]

05:48 [Squeaking]

05:51 [Music]

05:54 [Squeaking]

05:57 And still the city grew, reaching upward, higher and higher.

06:04 The sky was the limit.

06:08 [Music]

06:14 Oh dear, what's to become of me?

06:18 Will I never see the sun again?

06:21 Or feel the gentle touch of the summer breeze?

06:24 Or hear the song of the meadowlark?

06:27 [Music]

06:29 It's Friday!

06:32 [Music]

06:39 [Explosion]

06:45 Poor forgotten little house.

06:48 There was nothing left now.

06:50 Not even hope.

06:54 There she is, boys.

06:55 That little old shack?

06:56 Yeah.

06:57 Okay, let's get it over with.

07:00 Yes, get it over with.

07:03 I'm just in the way.

07:05 No good to anybody.

07:08 But land sakes, I shouldn't complain.

07:12 I've had a very full life for a house.

07:16 And we all have to go sometime.

07:19 [Music]

07:24 [Squeaking]

07:27 [Music]

07:36 It wasn't the end after all.

07:38 It was just the beginning.

07:41 Oh, it took a little time and a lot of fixing,

07:44 but all that really mattered was that she'd found someone.

07:48 Or rather, they'd found her.

07:51 Someone to love and cherish her.

07:55 Someone who knew that the best place to find peace and happiness

08:02 is in a little house on a little hill way out in the country.
