n you may come home. You must work, because you have two
eyes like other people, but my little One-Eye and Three-Eyes may stay at
home and play.

SCENE II.--_On the Hillside_

_Little Two-Eyes._ Come, little goat, here is some green grass for you
to eat. I wish that my sisters loved me and that my mother was not
ashamed of me. Oh, why do I have two eyes just like all other people? I
am so hungry, Oh, dear! Oh, dear! (_Cries._)

_Wood Fairy._ My child, why do you cry?

_Little Two-Eyes._ Because I have only two eyes, and my mother and my
sisters treat me badly. I don't have enough to eat and I am so hungry.
My dress is old, and my sisters have nice dresses and pretty ribbons.
But who are you?

_Wood Fairy._ I am the little Old Woman who lives on this hill. I have
come to help you. Listen, little Two-Eyes! You need never be hungry
again. Say to your little goat:

Little goat, bleat!
Little table, rise!

Then a table will rise before you with all the food you can eat. When
you have finished eating, you must say:

Little goat, bleat!
Little table, away!

and it will disappear before your eyes. Good-by, dear little Two-Eyes. I
must go now, but remember what I have told you.

_Little Two-Eyes._ Oh, look, little goat! what a pretty table! and how
good the food looks. Now we shall have all we want to eat. Here is
something for you, and here are oranges and meat and pudding for me!
Dear little woman! How can I thank her? Now I can eat no more.

Little goat, bleat!
Little table, away!

_Goat._ Bla-a! Bla-a! Bla-a!

_Little Two-Eyes._ There, it is gone. Aren't we happy, little goat? But
see, it is time to go home. Come, little goat.

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
