MR. BUNT VOICE OF MR. BUNT

Why, you are Dabs' invisible playmate, of course. MRS. GESHISISH

Outraged.

Invisible playmate indeed ! I'm his old -fashioned fairy -godmother, that's what I am. The kind

that gives everybody three wishes that all come true, and in the end nobody gets anything. That's simple. Anybody can understand that. Three wishes and there you are.

But this invis

able playmate stuff - that's too complicated for me. Why you know, in my time, we fairies amounted to something. We ran things. But

now -a -days every child has its own particular brand of fairy. Has it for as long as it pleases and then forgets it. Do you call that life ? I call it downright selfishness. I'd like to talk to

whoever started this invisible fairy stuff. VOICE OF MR. BUNT

Perhaps you'd better see the Board of Directors about it. MRS. GESHISISH

The Board of Directors.

What is the child talk

ing about. Wait till I get in that rain pipe! Very dramatically she raises her finger, saying with great emphasis: I wish I were in the rain pipe.

Flash ! and the stage is black once more.
