Enemy! The Fly! (They fall away from the Fly.)
FLY
(To the Dog.)

DOG
Silence! (To the others.) If this Fly didn’t carry disease, there wouldn’t be sickness. If there wasn’t sickness, the Doctor wouldn’t have to experiment on us.
(The Horse snorts, the Monkey chatters, the Cat spits, the Rabbit moves her ears.)
FLY
Oh, you ungrateful beasts!
