Tootsy. How could he get it?

Dumpling. He said he'd tell the Wishing Man.

Tootsy. My, I wonder if there really is such a person!

Dumpling. I don't know. But I'd like to see him if there is.

Tootsy. I'll make a rhyme.

Good Mr. Wishing Man, how do you do?
If there is such a person, we'd like to see you!

Dumpling.

If you come from afar, if you come from near,
Good Mr. Wishing Man, appear, appear!

The Wishing Man rolls out from under the table, rises, faces the three children, arms akimbo.
