TYLTYL
A bunch of pears!...
THE CHILD
No, they are grapes!... They will all be like that when I am thirty.... I
have found the way....
ANOTHER CHILD (_staggering under a basket of blue apples the size of
melons_)
And mine!... Look at my apples!...
TYLTYL
But those are melons!...
THE CHILD
No, no!... They are my apples and they are not the finest at that!... They
will all be alike when I am alive.... I have discovered the system!...
ANOTHER CHILD (_wheeling a blue barrow with blue melons bigger than
pumpkins_)
What do you say to my little melons?...
TYLTYL
But they are pumpkins!...
THE CHILD WITH THE MELONS
When I come on earth, the melons will be splendid!... I shall be the
gardener of the King of the Three Planets....
TYLTYL
The King of the Three Planets?
THE CHILD WITH THE MELONS
The great king who for thirty-five years will bring happiness to the Earth,
Mars and the Moon.... You can see him from here....
TYLTYL
Where is he?...
THE CHILD WITH THE MELONS
There, the little boy sleeping at the foot of that column.
TYLTYL
On the left?...
THE CHILD WITH THE MELONS
No, on the right.... The one on the left is the child who will bring pure
joy to the globe.
