Mr. Fox. Now for your round little body.
Gingerbread Man. I'm going!
Mr. Fox. There is not very much left. Just your head for the last mouthful.
Gingerbread Man. I'm gone!
Mr. Fox. Yes, you're gone; and a very nice meal, Mr. Gingerbread Man.
THE GOOD FAIRY
Scene I.—In the Wood
The Good Fairy. At last I am in this wood where I must save the Lady Alice from danger. How dark it seems here after the bright light of my skyey home. Surely I shall be glad to return to the courts of fairyland. Yet it is pleasant to be of service to the young and innocent, to those who are good and true. Some there are on earth who do not love the truth, who do not do the things that are honest and kind, and they must be punished. Kind and gentle deeds must be rewarded with our help.
