"How it began"

On top of a desolate hill

stands a desolate house.

Vacant, it's unused,

but it didn't start out that way...

Everything made has history,

and before the house became unused,

you have to know how it became that way.

You see, there was a time when

there wasn't a house on that hill.

There used to be a family of five,

the Rinklebaums: a mother,

a father, a daughter, and grandparents.

They needed a place to stay,

their house was too small for everyone.

Mr. Rinklebaum saw the hill,

he thought how great it'd be

to have a house there.

He knew that it would take time

to have the house built

and that they may either live

in the quaint town,

or they could stay in the little

cramped box of a house they had.

But he wanted to oversee the

construction of the house.

So with that, he talked it over

with his family.

They all bickered amongst themselves,

thinking of ways to not live in the town,

but their words fell on deaf ears,

their persuasion didn't work.

In short time he talked to some contractors,

after some key details about how the house is to be built,

the contractors went underway and started building.

Unfortunately for the fearsome fivesome,

they had to live in the town while

their house was being built.

Of course they hated it,

being around all those nice kind people,

it sickened the whole family.

They're not used to being around other people,

and other people aren't used to having them around either.

there's a reason why they're dubbed

the "Fearsome Fivesome"...
