SCENE IV—_At Home_ (_the Next Day_)

_Hans._ Why are you unhappy again, Gretchen? Come, let us

play.

_Gretchen._ Why should I be happy? We have no toys, only sticks

and stones for playthings. Go to the fox and tell him I wish for some

beautiful toys to play with.

_Hans._ Be satisfied, little Gretchen. We are quite happy

as we are.

_Gretchen._ No, I will not be satisfied.
