Frank—Of course. Did you think we came from Mars?
Teacher—No, for this is Mars. But it isn’t fair to ask me questions about the Earth. All our most learned men have been able to discover about the earth is that it is a very slow-moving, dull star which turns on itself once every month or two, and takes about a century to get around the sun. The winters are so long and cold that no life is possible. It is supposed to be a worn out planet.
Frank—The idea! It’s every bit wrong.
Ecila—Keep points, Mr. Spankety Man. (to Teacher) How did they get here?
Teacher—I don’t know.
Derf—Him don’t know. Dat’s five points, or fee, which is it? It’s my turn. What’s the biggest nanimal in Topsy Turvy Land?
Teacher—The Wincheopactylus. He is very large and fierce, and lives on new inhabitants, whom he eats raw. His voice is a high trill, and he gives warning of his presence—
Knarf—He certainly does. There’s one coming now. Run, everybody, run!
(All run out, in confusion, with screams and cries, dragging Frank and Alice with them. If a tiny dog, or large cat, can be made to walk across the stage after them, it will add to the climax of the scene.)
CURTAIN.
