LIGHT Whatever you like, as you would to a little playfellow....

TYLTYL Can I shake hands with him?...

LIGHT Of course, he won't hurt you.... But come, don't look so constrained.... I will leave you alone, you will be more at ease by yourselves.... Besides, I want to speak to the tall blue person....

TYLTYL (going up to the BLUE CHILD and holding out his hand) How do you do?... (Touching the CHILD'S blue dress with his finger.) What's that?...

THE CHILD (gravely touching TYLTYL'S hat) And that?...

TYLTYL That?... That is my hat.... Have you no hat?...

THE CHILD No; what is it for?...

TYLTYL It's to say How-do-you-do with.... And then for when it rains or when it's cold....

THE CHILD What does that mean, when it's cold?...

TYLTYL When you shiver like this: brrrr! brrrr!... When you blow into your hands and go like this with your arms....
