Part 13 (1/2)

_Little One-Eye._ Did I go to sleep?

_Little Two-Eyes._ Indeed, you did, and now we must hurry home. Come, little goat!

SCENE V.--_At Home_

_Mother._ Well, little One-Eye, tell us what you have seen. Why doesn't little Two-Eyes eat the food we have for her?

_Little One-Eye._ I don't know, mother. The way was so long and I was so tired; I fell asleep; and when I woke up it was time to come home.

_Mother._ It was a hard walk for you, my dear; but we must find out who is giving little Two-Eyes something to eat. To-morrow you must go, little Three-Eyes.

_Little Three-Eyes._ I'll find out, mother. If anyone dares to give food to little Two-Eyes, I'll tell you all about it.

_Mother._ Yes, my dear, I know you won't go to sleep. I can trust you to find out everything.

SCENE VI.--_On the Hillside_

_Little Two-Eyes._ Come, sister, we must go on, for it is a long way to the top of the hill.

_Little Three-Eyes._ I'm not going any farther, I'm too tired! I'll rest a little here.

_Little Two-Eyes._ All right, little Three-Eyes. I'll sing you a song.

Are you awake, little Three-Eyes?

Are you asleep, little Two-Eyes?

Yes, you are asleep, and now I'll have my dinner.

Little goat, bleat!

Little table, rise!

_Goat._ Bla-a! Bla-a! Bla-a!

_Little Two-Eyes._ Here is our dinner again, little goat. See this fresh lettuce and cabbage and good bread and b.u.t.ter. Here is some honey, too, and cake. Isn't this a good dinner?

Little goat, bleat!

Little table, away!

_Goat._ Bla-a, bla-a, bla-a!

_Little Two-Eyes._ Now it is gone. Three-Eyes, wake up! It is time home.

_Little Three-Eyes._ How long I have slept! What will my mother say? But I think I have a surprise for you, little Two-Eyes!

SCENE VII.--_At Home_

_Mother._ Well, little Three-Eyes, did you go to sleep, too?
