[All dance, Tim and Jim and their steeds marking time.
Master. Next revel, crowing competition.
[One after another they crow, very badly. Chant. crows, everyone claps. Then Rooster crows, they clap again.
Child. That's not fair—he's a professional.
Another Child. Never mind! Well done, Rooster.
[All clap.
[Scene must be changed as quickly as possible, the crowing going on uninterruptedly from the time the curtain falls until after it goes up again.
SCENE III
Same as Scene I. Tim and Jim in bed asleep—crowing going on outside. Tim sits up and rubs his eyes.
