AOYAGI

Yes—I love you so!—But I love Obaa-San, my mother—

RIKI

Come with me.

AOYAGI

But Obaa-San—

RIKI

Come with me. Butterfly, butterfly, alight upon the Willow Tree And if you rest not well, then fly home to me. See! I make a little verse for you.

AOYAGI

But—Obaa-San—is very old and very lonely.
