Fun & Fancy Free1947

Edgar Bergen:
Well, what shall we do now? Any suggestions?

Charlie McCarthy:
How would you like to go down to the city dump and watch me slug rats?

Edgar Bergen:
Certainly not. How would you like to hear me tell a story?

Luana Patten:
Oh, I'd love it. Wouldn't you, Charlie?

Charlie McCarthy:
Well, I, uh... no.

Edgar Bergen:
This is a story that everyone should know.

Charlie McCarthy:
Yes, but not everyone should tell it, and you know who.

Edgar Bergen:
I'm going to tell it anyway. Now, many, many years ago...

Charlie McCarthy:
I think I'll go out and wind the sundial. [tries to get up and leave, but Bergen stops him]

Edgar Bergen:
You'll stay right here.
