THE POT. The Smart Cat and The Boot must have already saved themselves. And we'll be lost here!

EVERYBODY. We'll be lost…

THE KITTEN. I don't know how to be lost. I'm so small. Please, someone teach me.

THE POT. Save yourselves!

EVERYBODY. Save yourselves, before it's too late.

THE KITTEN. You know, Fly, I want to learn quickly how to save myself?

THE LITTLE CARP and THE MOTH. So do we! So do we! We want to save ourselves too!

THE FLY. To save yourselves you have to do this way: don't care a bother about anything. You, Moth, don't care about The little Carp. And you, Kitten, don't care about the Moth.

THE KITTEN. I can't. Teach me!

THE FLY. Oh, it's very easy to do. You must tell the Moth that you are bored with him. Well, then!

THE KITTEN (To The Moth). I'm bored with you.

THE MOTH. Why are you bored with me, Kitten?

THE FLY. Don't you dare answer him! Go away from him! This is called saving oneself.

THE KITTEN. So easy? Then I'll hurry on… Oh!

THE OLD BOOT. Stop, Kitten. Where are you galloping to?

THE KITTEN. I'm saving myself. I can teach you how to do it. You, Boot, just tell me that you are bored with me. Now, then!

THE OLD BOOT. I'm bored with all of you.

THE POT. He doesn't understand. He doesn't want to save himself! He doesn't hear! Listen! Everybody, listen!

THE POT (stops ratting). (A rustle is heard.) Do you hear? Haven't told you? Now you can make sure! Save yourselves!
