GIANT

Don’t you want a flower? You may have one. I’ll pick one for you. Here it is.

LITTLE BOY

Thank you, good Mr. Giant.

GIANT

[Gradually relenting]

Here is another, you may have this. [Aside] No one ever called me “Good Mr. Giant” before.

[Looks at the little boy with a smile.]

LITTLE BOY

Lean down and I will put one in your button-hole and one in mine.

GIANT

Aren’t you a little chap?


LITTLE BOY

Aren’t you a big chap? Little chaps like me like big chaps like you.
