THE FAIRY (_stooping over the pan_)
Yes, there is; yes, there is.... (_Pushing the other loaves, which have
resumed their original places_.) Come, quick, make room there....
(_The knocking at the door is renewed_.)
BREAD (_utterly scared, vainly struggling to enter the pan_)
I can't get in!... He'll eat me first!...
THE DOG (_frisking round_ TYLTYL)
My little god!... I am still here!... I can still talk!... I can still kiss
you!... Once more! Once more! Once more!...
THE FAIRY
What, you too?... Are you there still?...
THE DOG
What luck!... I was too late to return to silence; the trap closed too
quickly....
THE CAT
So did mine.... What is going to happen?... Is there any danger?...
THE FAIRY
Well, I'm bound to tell you the truth: all those who accompany the two
children will die at the end of the journey....
THE CAT (_to the_ DOG)
Come, let us get back into the trap....
THE DOG
No, no!... I won't!... I want to go with the little god!... I want to talk
to him all the time!...
THE CAT
Idiot!...
(_More knocking at the door_)
BREAD (_shedding bitter tears_)
I don't want to die at the end of the journey!... I want to get back at
once into my pan!.
