THE MOTH. And I'll be fluttering among slender pine trees and drinking the Alpine flowers' nectar. Look, Little Carp, I already feel my wings growing!

THE KITTEN. And me! And me too! Me too!

THE POT. It looks like they have stopped growing! They are so small!

THE OLD BOOT. I think, Little Carp, that there is no place for you to swim here!

THE LITTLE CARP. But it has already two little blue lakes!

THE POT. I think, Moth, there isn't any place for you to fly here…

THE MOTH. But on its summit I can already see a little Alpine flower blossoming.

THE FLY. I know what is it, I suppose. Surely it isn't a mountain. Because a mountain is something that you won't find anywhere. I have already seen it somewhere. Let me remember… On some other garbage dump. Yes. That's it. It looks like a flower. That's right, a flower.

EVERYBODY. Flower!

THE FLY. Sometimes they happen on garbage dumps.

THE POT. Are they dangerous?

THE FLY. Oh, no. They are totally harmless. First they are yellow for some reason. You can see a cloud on its crown! Then — for some reason — they become white. And then die. THE OLD BOOT. Oh yes, that's sure. I can remember too… A cloud, a cloud… Oh yes, they are useless, because they die rather quickly. Especially when you touch them or blow on them by chance.

THE POT. What a delicacy!

THE LITTLE CARP. So, I'll never swim in the blue sea?

THE MOTH. So, I'll never flutter among the high pine trees?

THE FLY. You can be certain now! I've flown all over the world, I've seen everything. The world is none other then the big garbage dump where sometimes a useless flower grows.

THE POT. What an uninteresting, boring fact!

THE MOTH. Well, I'm off. They say the winter will come some day. It's high time to build a cocoon.

THE OLD BOOT. Oh yes, that's sure. First comes the summer, then the autumn and then the winter is sure to come. It's high time to lace myself up.

THE LITTLE CARP. I will hide myself in the slime.

THE KITTEN. And I'll go somewhere and do something!

THE FLY. That's correct. You must leave it!

EVERYBODY. And we'll surely leave it!

THE KITTEN. But I don't know how to leave anyone…

THE FLY. Oh, it's so easy! It's quite like saving yourself. To leave you must just turn your back. And never run, but just go away slowly, without glancing back.

THE KITTEN. Aha, now I can do that! Soon I'll grow up and begin leaving everybody!

THE DANDELION. Ah!..

THE LITTLE CARP. Have you heard? May be it doesn't want to be left?

THE OLD BOOT. As for me, I've heard nothing…

THE DANDELION. Where am I?

THE MOTH. It is saying something!

THE POT. Probably he is saying something, but we don't hear anything. Is it true, Boot?

THE LITTLE CARP. Who are you?

THE DANDELION. A Dandelion.

THE LITTLE CARP. You see, he named himself. He has the name!

THE DANDELION. Where am I?

THE FLY. Ha-ha-ha! He is so stupid! He doesn't understand anything! He doesn't know where is he! He doesn't know what it is! Tis the World! Ha-ha-ha!

THE DANDELION. The world! I love the world!

THE FLY. He doesn't know yet that the world is the big garbage dump!

THE DANDELION. There is something that irritates my eyes…

THE FLY. Have you heard that? He doesn't feel yet! This is the light!

THE DANDELION. The light… I love the light!

THE FLY. Look at this fool! He doesn't how the sun can blind you.

THE DANDELION. Oh, what's happening to me? There is something moving inside me…
