 Nicky, Nicky, where shall we hide? If the Giant comes in the front gate he’ll catch us.

The Giant always comes in the back gate. Run, run.

[The children run toward the big front gate but they cannot open it.]

The gate won’t open, Nicky. He’ll catch us, he’ll catch us.

[Heard coming nearer and nearer.]

Who is in my garden? I am the Baron Bill-Arron Bomberrum. My own garden is my own garden, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.
