Mona. You have a story. Tell me.

Noo.                           Sit beside me.

(Mona sits on rock other side of tree.)

Long years ago I was a boy.

Mona.                          How strange!

Noo. A little tiny boy, so high.

Mona.                            A change!

Noo. I had an uncle, and I was a prince.

My father died. He seized the throne.

(Mona starts,) You wince.
