will let you come here and play in my garden whenever you want to. You can always come.
LITTLE BOY
No, I couldn’t do that. I must go now and play with them. Thank you for the flowers.
[Kisses the Giant.]
GIANT
No one ever kissed me before, little chap.
DWARF
Aren’t you going to kiss Nicky, too?
[Little Boy kisses Dwarf.]
LITTLE BOY
Good-bye, Nicky. Good-bye, Giant.
[The little boy runs out of the gate waving his hand to the Giant.]
