MR . BUNT

51

the root of everything - any child knows that. Out in the world the children are calling to you .

The world is one great game of Make -Believe and if you have learned your lessons here, you

will have no trouble on earth. Gyem -of-the Woods will let you out from the branches of the Maple Tree . I will show you the way up as far as the door, but Gyem has the maple keys and will let you out into the world . And, now that

you are to cross the bridge of dreams, I will give you your final lesson . Children should be seen, not heard. Fairies should be heard , not seen. Now never get those two things mixed up, or the Board of Directors will get you . You under stand ?

Looking around. You do .

Continuing

Tonight you are to leave the tree, for I can hear the children calling. Your time has come to go out into the world . Go, and beware of the Board of Directors.

They all dance around and out of the door to the tune of: This is the class in Make- Believe, Make-Believe, Make-Believe,

This is the class in Make-Believe, Under the Maple Tree. The Owl closes his eyes.
