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.
00:46 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.
01:46 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]
02:22 Why, I'm right in the very center of the social world.
02:26 [Music]
02:42 Land sakes, I was only trying to be neighborly.
02:46 [Music]
02:54 Stay aloft, no, stay aloft.
02:59 [Music]
03:18 My, my, thought the little house, what a pity.
03:24 Still, they weren't very nice.
03:27 The years rolled faster now, and the little house saw the dawn of a new century.
03:33 [Music]
03:36 The tempo of life had quickened.
03:38 [Music]
03:41 Everything was bigger and better, for this was the age of progress.
03:46 Well, do tell, here I am, completely surrounded by progress.
03:53 [Music]
03:56 Ah, shut up.
03:58 Say, who you telling to shut up?
04:01 Quiet!
04:02 [Music]
04:03 Oh, yeah, trade that out of your saxophone.
04:07 Who says so?
04:08 I say so.
04:09 Go on, you big mouth.
04:10 [Music]
04:13 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.
04:24 Should all the crazers be forgotten, and age of old and gone.
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]
04:49 [Explosion]
04:52 Well, there's one thing about progress.
04:56 It always...
04:58 [Crash]
04:59 ...progresses.
05:01 [Explosion]
05:03 [Cough]
05:05 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]
05:24 [Music]
05:27 [Smashing]
05:30 [Music]
05:33 [Smashing]
05:36 [Music]
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?
06:19 Will I never see the sun again?
06:21 Or feel the gentle touch of the summer breeze?
06:25 Or hear the song of the meadowlark?
06:27 [Music]
06:29 Extra, extra!
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 [Birds chirping]
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,
08:05 on a little hill,
08:07 way out in the country.
08:10 [Music]
