[_The_ LAMB _is drinking from the brook. The_ WOLF _enters._]
WOLF. Aha! There is my dinner. Now I'll make it seem that I ought to eat
her. Lamb, Lamb, how dare you? How dare you?
LAMB. What do you mean, sir?
WOLF. How dare you muddle the water?
LAMB. The water is clear where you stand, sir.
WOLF. The water is muddled where I stand, miss.
LAMB. How can that be, sir?
WOLF. I say the water here is muddled.
LAMB. But, sir, the water runs from you to me.
WOLF. Oh, well, we will say no more about the water. Now just one year
ago you called me names.
[Illustration]
LAMB. How could that be, sir?
WOLF. I say you called me names, miss.
LAMB. But, sir, one year ago I was not born.
WOLF. Well, then, it was your father. It is all the same to me. I mean
to eat you anyway.

[_The_ SELFISH WOMAN _is taking cakes from her oven. There is a knock at
the door._]
WOMAN. Enter!
[_The_ BEGGAR _enters. She wears a long cloak._]
BEGGAR. I am hungry, good woman. Will you give me a cake?
WOMAN. The cakes are too large to give away. I will make a cake for you.
[_She makes a very small cake and puts it in the oven._]
BEGGAR. I thank you, good woman.
[_The woman takes the cake from the oven._]
WOMAN. This cake is too large to give away. I will make another cake for
you.
[_She makes a very, very small cake and puts it in the oven._]
BEGGAR. I thank you, good woman.
[_The woman takes the cake from the oven._]
WOMAN. This cake is too large to give away. I will give you a slice of
bread.
