The Narrator is telling a story about a family of skeletons.
This is how the story begins. In a dark, dark town, there was a dark, dark street. In the dark, dark street, there was a dark, dark house. In the dark, dark house, there were dark, dark stairs. Down the dark, dark stairs, there was a dark, dark cellar. And in the dark, dark cellar, some skeletons lived.
É assim que a história começa. Numa cidade escura, uma rua escura havia. Na rua escura, havia uma casa escura. Na casa escura, havia escadas escuras. Descendo as escadas, um porão escuro havia. No porão escuro, alguns esqueletos viviam.
