(An outdoor fairy play for children)
By Elizabeth Woodbridge
[Scene. A meadow or grassy spot, with trees and bushes in the background. Enter, young Mother, with very little boy dressed in green. As she speaks an old Witch hobbles in at back, and pauses to listen and peer at them.]
SCENE I
Mother.
Now little Boy-green, I’ll leave you here.
The sun is high and the sky is clear.
Dear little lad in your coat of green!
Prettiest laddie that e’er was seen!
Witch. [Muttering.]
