Giant (speaking into the telephone). Give me 333. Thank you. Who is this? Mr. Loring? This is Mr. Greatbig. I found some of your little relatives lost in the wood, and they are going to stay at my house over night. Don’t be alarmed. They will come home in the morning. Good-by. I didn’t give him a chance to say “No.”
Bear. Are you hungry, children?
Maysie. Terribly!
Bear. Then I’d better shake the sugar-plum tree.
(Shakes a tree, right. Shower of candy. The children scramble for it. Clear sound of a horn.)
Giant (much disturbed). Fee—fi—fo—fum! Jack’s horn! Children, I beg of you to escape with me, or I am done for. Here—up this bean-stalk!
(A louder blast from the horn. Bear and Giant boost the boys up the bean-stalk, left.)
Giant and Bear. Hurry! Hurry!
CURTAIN.
