Jim and Eileen hadn't been to their grandfathers old lakeside mansion in years.  They had spent countless summer vacations together in the old house, but ever since their grandfather passed away and Jim went away to university, summers haven't been the same.  

Jim had just finished university and Eileen just finished her last year of highschool and thought that they would celebrate these big moments in their lives by taking a nostalgic weekend trip back to grandpa's old mansion.  

Their cousins Ralph and Sally came along too.  Ralph and Sally were twins, had just graduated from highschool like Eileen, and were the complete opposite of eachother.  Sally had always been the smart one.  She was a straight A student and was Heading to Harvard for business after the summer was over.  Ralph, on the other hand, was not too smart.  He was a straight D student was heading to washing machine repair school after summer.  Ralph was pretty hilarious though and was always good for a laugh or two.

By the time they got to the mansion, it was about 5 p.m.  They drove right up to the front door and all jumped out of the car as soon as it came to a stop.

"WOW!" excalimed Ralph, "the place looks great!  I haven't been here in years!"

Everyone shouted in agreement.

Jim being the oldest, and therefore most responsible added, "Alright everybody, help me unpack!"

"NO WAY!", shouted Ralph as he broke into a sprint towards the dock.  He ran out of sight and a few seconds later everyone heard a big splash.

"typical Ralph..." Jim muttered under his breath, and thought to himself 'Maybe I should have dropped him off at the side of the road when I had the chance!'.
