_Little Two-Eyes._ Come, sister, we must go on, for it is a long way to the top of the hill.

_Little Three-Eyes._ I'm not going any farther, I'm too tired! I'll rest a little here.

_Little Two-Eyes._ All right, little Three-Eyes. I'll sing you a song.

Are you awake, little Three-Eyes? Are you asleep, little Two-Eyes?

Yes, you are asleep, and now I'll have my dinner.

Little goat, bleat! Little table, rise!

_Goat._ Bla-a! Bla-a! Bla-a!

_Little Two-Eyes._ Here is our dinner again, little goat. See this fresh lettuce and cabbage and good bread and butter. Here is some honey, too, and cake. Isn't this a good dinner?

Little goat, bleat! Little table, away!

_Goat._ Bla-a, bla-a, bla-a!

_Little Two-Eyes._ Now it is gone. Three-Eyes, wake up! It is time home.

_Little Three-Eyes._ How long I have slept! What will my mother say? But I think I have a surprise for you, little Two-Eyes!
