TYLTYL (wiping his knife) Well, but for the Dog and if I had not had my knife!... I would never have believed that they were so wicked!...
LIGHT You see that Man is all alone against all in this world....
THE DOG Are you very badly hurt, my little god?...
TYLTYL Nothing serious.... As for Mytyl, they have not touched her.... But you, my dear Tylô?... Your mouth is all over blood and your paw is broken!...
THE DOG It is not worth speaking of.... It won't show to-morrow.... But it was a tough fight!...
THE CAT (appearing from behind a thicket, limping) I should think so!... The Ox caught me a blow with his horns in the stomach.... You can't see the marks, but it's very painful.... And the Oak broke my paw....
THE DOG I should like to know which one....
MYTYL (stroking the CAT) My poor Tylette, did he really?.... Where were you?... I did not see you....
THE CAT (hypocritically) Mummy dear, I was wounded at the first, while attacking that horrid Pig, who wanted to eat you.... And then the Oak gave me a great blow which struck me senseless....
THE DOG (to the CAT, between his teeth) As for you, I want a word with you presently.... It will keep!...
