CATERPILLAR:
Oh, dear… oh, dear…
This thing You ask…
It is too much!
Remember me? I am only a tiny worm… that is all.
Fragile, Dream-Maker… easily broken.
Have You forgotten?
Oh, dear. This tree…
This bark… it is too rough!
It hurts my feet!
How can I climb a thing so BIG?
CATERPILLAR:
Oh, dear… what if I slip? What if I fall?
Oh-why-oh-why, did I pray for wings!?
Are you listening to me Dream-Maker?
If I fall? I shall be squished!!
What then? What then?
Oh, what shall become of squished worm with squished dreams?!
I can’t look down…
I can’t look down…
(DREAMMAKER:)
CATERPILLAR:
Climb or die…
climb or die…
This is too hard!
You ask too—MUCH!
