Snickerty Nick

CHILDREN

Nicky, Nicky, where shall we hide? If the Giant comes in the front gate he’ll catch us.

DWARF

The Giant always comes in the back gate. Run, run.

[The children run toward the big front gate but they cannot open it.]

CHILDREN

The gate won’t open, Nicky. He’ll catch us, he’ll catch us.

GIANT

[Heard coming nearer and nearer.]

Who is in my garden? I am the Baron Bill-Arron Bomberrum. My own garden is my own garden, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.
