The Blue Bird1940

Little Sister:
Mytyl, Mytyl! Oh, you're Mytyl! And Tyltyl!

Mytyl:
How do you know our names?

Little Sister:
That's not very surprising. When I'm born, I'm going to be your little sister.

Mytyl:
Our little sister! Oh, when?

Little Sister:
I don't know just when. In a year or so.

Mytyl:
Oh, that's wonderful!

Little Sister:
Yes. In a way.

Mytyl:
In a way? There will be three of us! We'll have lots of fun together!

Little Sister:
Not for very long.

Mytyl:
Why not?

Little Sister:
I'll only be with you a short while.

Mytyl:
And then you're going away?

Little Sister:
Yes.

Tyltyl:
It's hardly worthwhile you coming at all, is it?

Little Sister:
It would seem so, but we can't pick and choose.
