''and there was no one else around.
:40:06
''And in the cabin
there was a door in the floor.

:40:12
''The little boy was afraid of what
was under the door in the floor,

:40:16
''and the mommy was afraid too.
:40:19
''Once, long ago, other children had come
to visit the cabin for Christmas,

:40:25
''but the children had opened
the door in the floor...

:40:28
''and had disappeared down the hole.
:40:31
''The mommy had tried
to look for the children,

:40:35
''but when she opened the door in the
floor she heard such an awful sound...

:40:40
''that her hair turned
completely white...

:40:43
''like the hair of a ghost.
:40:46
''And the mommy had
also seen some things,

:40:51
''things so horrible
you can't imagine them.

:40:56
''And so the mommy wondered...
:40:59
''if she wanted to have a little boy,
:41:02
''especially because of everything
that might be under the door in the floor.

:41:06
''And then she thought, 'Why not?
:41:11
''l'll just tell him not to open
the door in the floor.'

:41:16
''Yet the little boy...
:41:18
''still didn't know
if he wanted to be born...

:41:21
''into a world where there was
a door in the floor.

:41:25
''But there were some beautiful things
in the woods,

:41:29
''on the island and in the lake.
:41:32
'''Why not take a chance?’ he thought.
:41:36
''And so the little boy was born
and he was happy,

:41:42
''and his mommy was happy again too.
:41:47
''Although she told the boy...
:41:49
''at least once every day,
:41:52
'''Don't ever, not ever,
:41:56
'''never, never, never...
:41:58
''open the door in the floor.'
