Narrator: (Huffily) I really don’t think I have the heart for this one!
Student: You mean, this story about (reading) The Nightingale and the Rose?
Butterfly: What a waste!
Daisy: Shocking!
Lizard: And all for a rose! Didn’t I say at the time
Butterfly: (Interrupting) You most certainly did! What a shame that most accomplished, beautiful bird didn’t speak to us first!
Daisy: Yeah! We’d have talked her out of it!
Student: (Impatiently) When you’ve all quite finished, talked her out of what?
Narrator: Oh, haven’t you heard?
