Frank—All right, let’s. (They sit down on floor, and open geography, turning the leaves slowly.)
Alice—Oh dear. I can’t read half fast enough. It would take most a year to read all that, and two more years to study all the maps. Let’s go ask one of the High School boys or girls. They’ve learned it all.
Frank—No, let’s don’t. They’d only laugh at us. The big ones always do. Let’s go look for it ourselves. We’ll have adventures on the way, most likely, and it will be great sport.
Alice—All right, let’s. Shall we start now?
Frank—Sure. Shall I go this way and you that, like Red Riding Hood and the wolf, or shall we go together?
Alice—Oh, together. I’d be afraid to go alone, I’m sure. Hark! What was that? (A little tinkle is heard.)
Frank—Sounded like a very little bit of a bell.
Alice—Listen, and see if it comes again. (The tinkle grows louder, and the fairy trips lightly on stage.)
Alice and Frank Together—Oh!
Fairy—I’m the Fairy Tinkle Bell, of Everywhere. I heard two little children wishing for a new land, and I’ve come to show them the way.
