[_The_ WOLF _enters from the forest._]
WOLF. Ah, if I could only eat oats! What a dinner I should have! I would
tell no one! No one would know, and the whole field would be mine.
(_Enter the_ HORSE _from the forest._)
Ah, good friend, such news as I can tell you!
HORSE. I will not promise to believe you.
WOLF. Well, then, believe your own eyes. There lies a field of ripe
oats!
HORSE. As I live, you speak the truth!
WOLF. I have not tasted one! I have kept them all for you.
[Illustration: "AS I LIVE, YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH!"]
HORSE (_calling_) Master! Master!
[Note: The words in parentheses are not intended to be read aloud;
they will give the child the cue as to how the part should be rendered
and thus stimulate better expression.]
WOLF. Your master knows the oats are there. You do not need to tell him.
HORSE. Maid! Maid!
WOLF. The maid knows the oats are there. You do not need to call her.
HORSE. Boy! Boy!
WOLF. Stop your calling! You will have them all at me with clubs.
HORSE. Neighbors! Neighbors!
[_Enter the_ MASTER, MAID, BOY, _and_ NEIGHBORS _with clubs. They
surround the Wolf._]
MASTER. Aha! I have caught you at last!
WOLF (_to horse_). This is the thanks I get for showing you--
HORSE. Something you did not want yourself. I owe you nothing, sir.
