WOMAN. This cake is too large to give away. I will give you a slice of bread.
[She cuts a slice from a loaf of bread.]
BEGGAR. I thank you—
WOMAN. A slice is too much to give away. Here is a crust for you.
[The beggar shakes her head.]
BEGGAR. May you never taste cake again! May the very cake in your mouth seem to be crust! If you will not give, you shall not have!
WOMAN. Go, go!
[The beggar throws off her cloak; a FAIRY is seen.]
WOMAN. A Fairy! You are a Fairy?
FAIRY. I am the Fairy of Good Deeds. You would not give—you shall not have!
