(DREAM-MAKER:) Far enough.
Now go to the end of that branch…
Hang from the end…
and spin!
CATERPILLAR:
What!? What?!
That branch… way out
(gulp!)
… there!?
Hang from the end?
Out there!?
(Oh-dear, oh-dear…)
I’ll fall for sure!
CATERPILLAR:
It is so dark… too dark to see…
It took so long to climb this tree…
It took so long to climb so high…
CATERPILLAR:
This crazy call…
to hang from limb in outer space???
(DREAM-MAKER:) (Silence.)
CATERPILLAR:
Okay… okay… I’ll go… I’ll go!
(Though why I should I do not know!)
See? I’m spinning, spinning this cocoon.
Oooo, I’m dizzy! This is too hard.
(grumble…) You ask too much.
(DREAM-MAKER:) Nice n’ tight…
CATERPILLAR:
Yes, I’m here. I’m spinning. Nice and tight.
(Ooooooooo!) It’s dark in here. I cannot move.
Why did You bring me here to this? (Now what?)
I am squished in tight dark cell…
it is too hard… it is too much!
(DREAM-MAKER:) (Silence.)
CATERPILLAR:
CATERPILLAR:
(DREAM-MAKER:) (Silence.)
