• Little Girl : Look! Live children!

  Tyltyl : Why do they call us live children?

  Mytyl : I don't know.

  Young Lad : You're live children, aren't you?

  Mytyl : Well, of course we're alive. Aren't you alive?

  Young Lad : Not yet. We're waiting to be born.

  Little Girl : Look how funny they dress.

  Mytyl : I was thinking the same thing about you.

  Little Girl : What are those things on your feet?

  Mytyl : They're my shoes. They're for protecting your feet from thorns and stones and the cold.

  Young Lad : It's all very confusing, but I expect we'll understand it when we're born.

  Mytyl : Why don't you get born?

  Young Lad : We will, but we have to wait our turn. Is it nice on Earth?

  Tyltyl : Yeah, it's all right.

  Mytyl : It's beautiful!
