TEDDY BEAR (_shakes head as if he does not know_). WISHING MAN. Go out and find him for me. Have you been a very, very good Teddy Bear while I was away? TEDDY BEAR (_nods his head_). WISHING MAN. That's good. Now go out and find Jimmy Bear. TEDDY BEAR (_nods head and ambles out at R._). WISHING MAN (_looking around_). Everything is growing fine. I think the bicycle trees need a little more water. Well, children, what do you think of the Wishing Land? BIG D. It's awfully pretty. BIG T. It's perfectly gorgeous. BIG S. Wunnerful, simply wunnerful. WISHING MAN. Here's where I grow my toys. See, there is the trumpet vine, and the candy tree and the dolly flowers. Whenever a little child makes a wish for anything like that, all I have to do is to come in here and pick a toy. See? BIG D. Oh, lookee at the tin soldiers. They're awful big. Can I have one, Mr. Wishing Man? WISHING MAN. I don't think they're quite ripe yet. BIG S. Me want a twumpet. Want a nice, big twumpet to blow. WISHING MAN (_picks a trumpet_). There you are, my little man. BIG T. I want one, too. A nice loud one. WISHING MAN (_picks one_). And there's one for you, Tootsy. BIG D. Believe I'll take a drum. WISHING MAN (_picks a drum_). There you are. Right off the tree. BIG D. Now we'll have a parade. (_They march around stage playing trumpets and drums._) WISHING MAN. Here, here, wait a minute. You're making enough noise to wake the dead. Hold on, there. Quiet, quiet! BIG T. Oh, dear! Just as we were having such a lovely time. BIG S. Oh, whee! See the funny box. (_Goes to_ KA-ZIN-SKI'S _box._) What is in it, Mr. Wishing Man? WISHING MAN. You'd better let it alone. That's Ka-zin-ski, and Ka-zin-ski doesn't like babies. BIG S. But I wish to see him. WISHING MAN. Is it a wish? BIG S. Yes, sir; it's a wish. WISHING MAN. Then pull the string. (BIG S. _leans over the box, pulls a spring, the lid flies up and_ KA-ZIN-SKI _pops out almost in the baby's face._ BIG S. _screams and falls flat down on the stage._) BIG S. Oh, whee! Take him away! I'm fwightened, I am. Vill he come after me? WISHING MAN. No, no. Get up, 'ittie Snookie Ookums, he won't hurt you. BIG D. Say, Mr. Wishing Man? WISHING MAN. What is it, my little boy? BIG D. Can we have anything we wish for here in the Wishing Land? WISHING MAN. Of course you can. That's what the Wishing Land is for. BIG D. Then I wish I was a little boy again. I'm too big to enjoy myself. BIG T. And I wish I was a little girl again. Everybody laughs at me, 'cause I'm so big. BIG S. And I wish I was a 'ittie, teeny, weeny baby again. Being so big fwightens me so. WISHING MAN. Oh, ho! So you all want to be little again? THE THREE. Yes, sir, if you please. BIG T. Why, I'm so big that I can't get all of me into bed. I'll have to let my feet hang outside. BIG S. And if I get in my baby buggy, I'll bweak it all down. BIG D. And my mamma won't recognize me at all, 'cause I'm grown so big.
