Snickerty Nick

[The Little Boy runs in laughing. The children gather around him and draw him into the center.]

LITTLE BOY

Isn’t the Giant’s garden a lovely garden to play in?

FIRST CHILD

Will you be puss?

LITTLE BOY

Yes, I’ll be puss.

[The giant is heard in the distance.]

CHILDREN

The Giant! The Giant! The Giant is coming; he’ll gobble us up.

GIANT

Who is in my garden? My own garden is my own garden. I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.
