THE DANDELION. Kitten, you run after them! Find them and show them the way!

THE KITTEN. I shall! And what about you?

THE DANDELION. I'll light up your way! Kitten, you run, run without turning back!

THE KITTEN. But it means to save myself!

THE DANDELION. Kitten, you run and don't lose the time!

THE KITTEN. But it means to leave!

THE DANDELION. Good bye, Kitten! Don't turn around! Run away!

The Kitten runs away.

THE SMART CAT. I feel ill at ease! I'm going to cry! Parting words! The stolen friendship!

Night. The Kitten.

THE KITTEN. Now to turn around! I'll run! To save small friendship for the sake of large one! To run! Forward! Not to turn around! Not to leave! Not to save myself! Not to steal up! Not to deceive! To run forward! To run!.. To run… I'm tired. Not to get tired! I'm in despair. Not to be in despair! To run… Run.. I seem to be crying. Not to cry! To run…. To run…

Different voices in the darkness. Song is breaking down.

THE OLD BOOT. Together…

THE POT. Go on, music…

THE LITTLE CARP. Sunshine…

THE MOTH. Wings…

The Boot and then the others.

THE OLD BOOT. Together. Together. I'm the left boot. I'm going alone.

THE MOTH. They stopped on me.

THE LITTLE CARP. They pushed me.

THE POT. Somebody attacked me in the darkness.

THE OLD BOOT. We've lost our way!

THE POT. We didn't finish our song.

THE MOTH. Wings dropped.

THE LITTLE CARP. Sun has grown dark.

THE OLD BOOT. March together! Why should we march together, if nothing could be seen in the darkness.

THE POT. Why should we sing our song in the darkness?

THE MOTH. How could we go after sun if it's set?

THE OLD BOOT. We shouldn't… march together.

THE POT. Our song… is sung.

THE MOTH. The wings… are crumpled.

THE LITTLE CARP. The sun has set.

THE FLY. Ha-ha! What a sad end! The army is depressed! Distant victory and sad end! Ha-ha-ha!

The Kitten.

THE KITTEN. We'll march together again!

THE POT. Again!

THE KITTEN. A New sun has risen!

THE LITTLE CARP. A New sun!

THE KITTEN. Our dream's got the wings!

THE MOTH. Wings!

They sing their song again.

THE KITTEN. Together!

EVERYBODY. Together!

THE KITTEN. Our song!

EVERYBODY. Our song!

THE KITTEN. Sunshine!

EVERYBODY. Sunshine!

THE KITTEN. Wings!

EVERYBODY. Wings!

THE FLY. I'll follow them.

Thistles.

THE OLD BOOT. We have come at last. Thank you, Kitten. Here they are. I can see them.

THE POT. We have come at last. Thank you, Kitten. Here they are. I can see them.

THE POT. How frightful they are! Malicious! Thorny!

THE LITTLE CARP. Listen, friends! We must get over them today! Let's forget our quarrels!

THE MOTH. Let's ask them to help us have our way. They may be kind in reality. Perhaps they only try to look frightful! It happens, I know!

THE KITTEN. Thistles!

THE LITTLE CARP. I don't think, they hear our words. They are talking. (Everybody tries to understand, what the thistles are talking about.)

THE KITTEN. But they keep silent! They can't understand our words!

THE MOTH. Another world is waiting for us there!

EVERYBODY. Another world!

THE LITTLE CARP. We'll get another way of living there!

EVERYBODY. Another way of living!

THE OLD BOOT. Let us have our way!

THE POT. Let us, please!

They listen.

THE KITTEN. They can't hear our words!

THE OLD BOOT. How quiet it is here!.. I am afraid.

THE POT. I feel cold.

THE KITTEN. Look, the light goes out. Let's go ahead!

THE LITTLE CARP. Let's gather all our strength.

THE MOTH. Gather the best we have!
