SCENE III.--_At Home_

_Mother._ Here, little Two-Eyes, here are the crusts your sisters saved

for you.

_Two-Eyes._ Thank you, mother, but I don't care for any crusts. I'm not

hungry.

_Mother._ Not care for them? You are not hungry? You have always eaten

them before now and asked for more! You didn't eat any supper last

night, either. What does this mean? What did you have to eat to-day?

_Two-Eyes._ I cannot tell you, mother.

_Mother._ You cannot? Then, little One-Eye, you shall go to the hillside

with little Two-Eyes and find out why she is no longer hungry.

_Little One-Eye._ I don't want to go! The walk is too long, and I shall

get tired!

_Mother._ Just this once, my dear! You will not have to go again. But we

must learn the secret.

_Little Two-Eyes._ Come, sister. Come, little goat.
