Hans: Does he visit all the little children all over the world?
Gretchen: Why, of course! (Slowly.) At least, I suppose so.
Hans: Do all the children have Christmas trees?
Gretchen: Oh! I hope so. Wouldn’t it be too bad not to have a tree on Christmas?
Hans: I think it would be fun to have an airship and go about the world to-night and see what all the little children are doing.
Gretchen: Where would you like to go?
Hans: I’d like to fly over the sea and visit Cousin Heinrich in America.
Gretchen: I’d be afraid to fly so far. I’d go to Holland; it’s such a little way.
Hans: Oh! I’d fly up in the mountains of Switzerland.
Gretchen (thoughtfully): I think I’d rather have the children come and tell us about their Christmas. I’d be afraid in an airship.
