GIANT
Don’t you want a flower? You may have one. I’ll pick one for you. Here it is.
LITTLE BOY
Thank you, good Mr. Giant.
GIANT
[Gradually relenting]
Here is another, you may have this. [Aside] No one ever called me “Good Mr. Giant” before.
[Looks at the little boy with a smile.]
LITTLE BOY
Lean down and I will put one in your button-hole and one in mine.
GIANT
Aren’t you a little chap?
LITTLE BOY
Aren’t you a big chap? Little chaps like me like big chaps like you.
