Chapter 6 act four

Before the sixth act Enter Tytyl, Mytyl, Light, Dog, Cat, Bread, Fire, Sugar, Water, and Milk. I just got a message from the fairy Belle Luna, she told me that the blue bird might be here... Where is Tytil? ... Just here, in the cemetery behind this wall... It seems that a dead person in this cemetery hid the blue bird in the grave... Now the problem is to know which dead person... You have to look at each one... Tytil take a look one by one? ...What do you think? ... The light couldn't be simpler: in order not to disturb the dead too much, you turn the diamond in the middle of the night.Then the dead will be seen coming out of the ground; or the dead who will not come out can be seen in the grave...

Tytil, the dead don't get angry, do they? ... Light never, they don't even notice... They don't like being disturbed; since they're used to coming out in the middle of the night, it doesn't embarrass them... Why is Tyltyl so pale and silent, Bread, Sugar, and Milk? ... Grandma (staggering) I feel dizzy... Kwang (whispers to Tytil) Leave him alone...they're afraid of the dead... Huo (jumping and bouncing) Me, I'm not afraid of death! ...I'm used to burning people...I've burned them all before; it was much more fun then than it is now... Why is Tytilo trembling? ... Is he afraid too? ...

Dog (cracking teeth) Me? ... I'm not shaking! ...I'm never afraid; I'll follow you wherever you go... Why doesn't Tytil the cat say a word? ... Cat (mysteriously) I know what's going on... TYLTYL (to the light) Are you going with us? ... The light is gone, I'd better stay at the gate of the cemetery with all the things and animals... The time has not yet come... The light can't break into the dead yet... I'll just leave you alone with Mytil... Can't Tytillo stay with us? ... Dog No, no, I stay, I stay here... I want to stay with my little fairy! ...

This alone is not enough... The fairy's order is very clear; besides, there is nothing to be afraid of... Dog Well, well, forget it... If the dead are fierce, my little fairy, you just whistle like this (whistling) and I will come... Like in the forest: Woof!Wang!Wang! ... Good light, goodbye, my dear children... I am not far away... (She embraces the two children) Those who love me and those I love can find me at any time... (To all kinds of beasts class) you all go this way... [Light ends with all kinds of things and beasts.The two children are left alone at center stage.The curtain rises, revealing the scene of scene seven.

field seven cemetery night.moonlight.A rural cemetery.Lots of graves, grassy mounds, wooden crosses, tomb covers, etc. Tytyl and Mytyl stand beside a tombstone. Mittel I'm scared! TYLTYL (a little flustered) Me, I'm never afraid... Mittel, do you think the dead are fierce? ... Tytil is not fierce, and they are not alive... Mytyl, have you ever seen a dead man? ... TYLTYL Yes, I saw it once when I was little... Say, Mittel, what does it look like? ... Tytil's whole body is white, very calm, icy cold, and doesn't speak... Mittel, do you think we're going to see dead people soon? ...

Of course Tytil is, just saying that... Where is Mytil dead? ... Tyltyl is here, under the turf, or under the boulders... Mytyl are they there all year round? ... Tytyl is right. Mytyl (pointing to the slate cover) Is this the entrance of their house? ... Tytil yes. Do they come out when Mytil is fine? ... Tytil and the others can only come out at night... Mytyl why? ... Tytil because they're in pajamas... Do they come out when it rains in Mytil? ... It's raining in Tytil and they're staying at home... Mittel, tell me, is their home okay? ... Tyltyl heard it's very cramped...

Mytyl, do they have children? ... Of course Tytyl has; dead children are with them... What do Mytil and the others live on? ... Tytil and the others eat grass roots... MYTIL Are we about to see them? ... Tyltyl, of course, because when you turn the diamond, you can see everything. What will they say? ... Tytil they won't say anything because they don't speak... Mytyl why don't they talk? ... Tytil because they have nothing to say... Mytyl why don't they have anything to say? ... Tyl you are so annoying... [Still. Mytyl when are you turning the diamond? ... Did you know Tytil, I just said that I have to wait until midnight, because I can disturb them less at that time...

Why did Mytyl bother them less then? ... Tyltyl because that's where they come out for some air. Is it still not midnight yet, Mytil? ... Tytyl, can you see the church bell? ... Mittel can see it, I can even see a tiny needle... Tytil Hi!It's about to strike midnight...here it is! ... just right... did you hear that? ... [The twelve strokes of midnight are heard. Mittel, I want to go! ... Tytil is not the time to go... I'm going to turn the diamond... Mitchell no, no! ...don't turn! ...I want to go! ...Brother, I'm scared! ...I'm scared to death! ... Tytil is not in any danger...

Mytyl, I don't want to see dead people! ...I don't want to see dead people! ... Tytil Well, you don't have to see them, just close your eyes... Mytyl (clutches Tytyl's clothes) Tytyl, I can't stand anymore! ... No, I can't do it! ...the dead are coming out of the ground! ... Tyltyl don't tremble like this...they're only out for a while... Mytil, but you tremble like that! ...they must be scary! ... It's time for Tytil, or you'll miss it... [Tyl turns the diamond.For a while there was no sound, nothing moved, and it was terribly motionless; then slowly the cross began to shake, the mounds were split, and the slate cover was lifted.

Mytyl (kneeling down and leaning against Tytyl) They're out! ...and they came out! ... [At this time, from all the cracked graves, a flower slowly bloomed, at first thin and erratic like water vapor, then white and bright, more and more luxuriant, more and more towering, full of flowers , Abnormally gorgeous.Gradually the flowers creep irresistibly over everything, transforming the graveyard into a fairy-land wedding garden; and soon the first light will rise.The dew is shining, the flowers are in full bloom, the wind blows the leaves, the bees are buzzing, the birds wake up, and the first burst of intoxicating songs praising the sun and life fill the space.Tytil and Mittel were stunned, dazed, and held hands, they walked a few steps among the flowers, looking for the grave.

MYTIL (searching in the grass) Where's the dead man? ... Tytil (also looking for) There are no dead people... [The curtain falls. Before the eighth scene Beautiful clouds appear on the screen. Enter Tytyl, Mytyl, Light, Dog, Cat, Bread, Fire, Sugar, Water and Milk. I just think we can always get the blue bird this time.I should have thought of this from the beginning... Only this morning, when the dawn came and I regained my strength, did the thought come to my mind like a ray of light across the sky... We now come to the entrance of the magic garden, the garden Guarded by fate, all the joy and happiness of mankind gather here... Is there much joy and happiness in Tytyl?Can we be with them?Are joy and happiness small? ... There were small ones, big ones, fat ones, slender ones, pretty ones and not-so-beautiful ones... Not long ago, the ugliest ones were driven out of the garden, and took refuge in misfortune.It needs to be said that misfortune dwells in the adjoining cave, which communicates with the Garden of Happiness, except for a vapour, or a veil, from which the wind blows from the Harbor of Justice or the Abyss of Eternity. Raise the curtain... Right now, it's a matter of organizing and being careful.Happiness is generally very kind, but there are some that are more insidious and treacherous than the greatest misfortunes...   Bread I have an idea!If they are treacherous and treacherous, we'd better wait at the door, and when the children have to run, can't we help them? ... Dogs are bad!not good at all! ...Wherever my little fairy is going, I want to follow there! ...Let the timid stay at the door! ... We don't need (looks at the bread) cowards, (looks at the cat) nor traitors! ... Fire me, I want to follow! ...looks like fun! ...could dance forever... Is there something to eat in the bread? ... Water (sobs) I've never seen even the smallest happiness! ...I must see you! ... Just stop talking!Nobody asked for your opinion...this is the decision I made: dog, bread and sugar with two kids.Don't let the water in, because she is too cold, and don't let the fire in, because he is too noisy.I want to persuade grandma to stay outside the door, because she is too emotional; as for the cat, she can do whatever she likes... She was terrified of the dog! ... The cat has a few misfortunes, I'm going to greet them by the way, they are all my old friends, they live next door to happiness... TYLTYL And what about you, Hikari, will you go in too? ... I alone cannot go to happiness in this way; most of them will not be able to bear my light... I have a thick veil here, which I will wear when I visit happy people... (She shakes off a long veil and wraps herself carefully ) can't let a gleam of my soul frighten them, because there are a lot of happiness very timid and in a bad mood... Look, the less beautiful and the fattest happiness are nothing to be afraid of like me up... [The curtain opens to reveal the set for Scene 9. Scene 9 The Garden of Happiness When the curtain was raised, it revealed the front of the Garden of Happiness, and stood a great hall supported by marble columns. Between the columns hung heavy crimson curtains, fastened with thick golden ropes, covering the entire background.The building recalls Renaissance Venice or the most sensual and prosperous age of Flanders, that of Veronez and Rubens).In the hall, garlands, angular flower and fruit baskets②, tassels, vases, statues, and gold lacquer abound.In the middle is a huge jasper fairy table, inlaid with gold and silver, filled with candlesticks, crystal vessels, gold and silver tableware and delicacies.Around the table sat round the fat, slender bliss of the world, who ate and drank, shouted and sang, and danced, or lay down and slept among game, rare fruit, and overturned pots.All of them were potbellied, puffy and red-faced, dressed in velvet brocades and jewellery.Beautiful slave girls kept serving painted plates and fizzy drinks.The brass-based music is very vulgar, rough, and rowdy.The stage was filled with a heavy, muddy red light. Tytyl, Mytyl, Dog, Bread and Sugar timidly surrounded the light and hurried onto the stage from the front right.The cat walked straight backstage without saying a word, lifted the dark curtain on the right, and disappeared. These big fat gentlemen Tytyl are laughing and making noise, eating so many good things, who are they? Just this is the happiness of fat and bloated human beings, happiness that can be seen with the naked eye.It is possible, though unlikely, that the blue bird indulged for a moment among them.So you don't spin the diamond just yet.Let's search this part of the hall as usual. Could Tytil approach them? Light certainly does.Although they are vulgar and generally ill-bred, they are not fierce. Mytil, how good their desserts are! ... Dogs and game!Red Sausage!Leg of lamb!Calf liver! ... (seriously) There is nothing better, more beautiful, and more valuable than calf liver in the world! ... Bread is four pounds of loaves except white flour!How good their bread is! ……it's beautiful!it's beautiful!Bigger than me! ... Sugar sorry, sorry, a thousand sorry... let me say, let me say... I don't want to offend anyone; but you don't forget the sweets candies, the glory of this table belongs to them, dare I say, theirs The brilliance is a spectacle, surpassing everything in this hall, perhaps surpassing everything in other places... Tyltyl, how happy they are! ... They screamed, laughed, and sang! ...I think they saw us... [A dozen of the fattest Happiness do stand up, hold their stomachs, and walk towards the group of children with difficulty. Just don't be afraid, they are very hospitable... Maybe they came to invite you to a table... You don't accept, accept nothing, lest you forget your mission... tyyl what?Not even a small snack?The pastries look so good, so fresh, covered with a glistening layer of sugar, so much candied fruit, and so much cream oozing out! ... Snacks alone are dangerous, it breaks your will.In order to accomplish the task, some kind of sacrifice has to be made.You have to politely but firmly refuse.Here they come! ... FATEST HAPPINESS (holds out hand to Tytyl) Hello, Tytyl! ... Tytil (surprised) How do you know me? ……who are you? ... The Fattest Happiness I am the fattest Happiness named Rich Happiness. On behalf of my brothers, I come to invite you and your whole family to our long-lasting banquet.You can sit with the happiness of the real fat in the world.Allow me to introduce you to some of the most important of them.This is the private happiness of my son-in-law, whose belly is like a pear.This is to satisfy vanity and happiness. Although his face is puffy, it is very cute. (Satisfied vanity happiness bows in a protective manner) This is happiness that drinks without thirst and happiness that eats without hunger, they are twin brothers, and their legs are macaroni. (They both stand unsteadily and bow in greeting.) It's ignorant of happiness, deaf as a log, and ignorant of happiness, blind as a mole.It was the bliss of inaction and the bliss of oversleeping, with hands formed of crumbs and eyes of peach jelly.Finally, there's Fatty Laughing, with his mouth open all the way to his ears.She always wants to laugh... [The fat man laughs and bows in greeting. Tytil (pointing to the happiness of a fat man standing aside) Who is that one who dare not come over and whose back is facing us? ... Don't worry about the fattest happiness, he's a bit shy, he's too shy to see the children... (Takes Tytil's hand) Come on!Another banquet... from early morning to now, this is the twelfth time.It's waiting for you...do you hear all the guests yelling for you to be seated? ...I can't introduce you to them all, there are too many of them... (Gives arms to the two children) Let me show you to the guest table... Thank you, Tytil, Mr. Fatty Happiness...I'm very sorry...I can't go right now...We have something urgent to go to Blue Bird.By the way, do you know where the blue bird is hiding? The fattest blue bird of happiness? ………… wait a minute… yes, yes, I remembered… someone told me about it before… I thought, this bird is not good to eat… Anyway, never on our table ...that is to say, don't give a shit about this bird...you don't have to look for it, we have better things than that...you come and live our lives and see what we do... What are you guys doing? The fattest happiness is what we are constantly engaged in, doing nothing... we don't have a moment to rest... have to eat, drink, sleep, it's very laborious... Is Tytil so happy? The fattest happiness is happy...it can only be like this, because there is nothing else in the world... Is that really the case? ... The Fattest Happiness (pointing to the light and whispering to Tytil) Who is this uneducated girl? ... [During this time, a group of first-class fat people, Happiness, was waiting for dogs, sugar and bread, and dragging them to the table.Tytil suddenly noticed that they sat down with their master affectionately, eating and drinking, and dancing. TYLTYL Look, light! ...and they ate it! ... Just call them back!Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous! ... Tiltillo! ... Thilo!come here! ...Come back quickly, do you hear me? ... You, sugar and bread over there, who gave you permission to leave me? ...without permission, what are you doing there? ... Bread (mouth stuffed) Won't you speak politely to us? ... What about Tytil?Bread doesn't use honorifics for me? ...how did you become like this? ... And you, Thilo, is that how you obey?Come on, come back on your knees, kneel! ……hurry up! ... Dog (whispering at the end of the table) Me, once I eat, I can't care about anyone, I can't hear anything... Tang (sweet honey) please forgive me, if we leave immediately, we will offend such a lovely master... Look at the fattest happiness! ...They have set an example for you...Come on, everyone is waiting for you...If you refuse, we will not agree...Then you have to be soft and procrastinating...Come on, happy fat people, Come help me! ... Push them to the table, let them be happy involuntarily! ... [All the fat people are happy, shouting happily and dancing, dragging away the two children, they are struggling, and the laughing fat man hugs Guang's waist vigorously. Light turns diamonds, it's time! [Tytil turns the diamond.Suddenly the stage was brightly lit, the light was indescribably soft, with a magical rose color, very harmonious and light.The crude decorations and thick red curtains of the front desk spread and disappeared, revealing a garden of fabulous beauty and tranquility, a palace of shade and harmony, with fresh and intoxicating fragrance of flowers, fountains gushing everywhere, and the sound of babbling. It can be heard that it exudes a cool and pleasant atmosphere, and this blissful state seems to be as far away as the sky.The feast was gone without leaving a trace; the velvet brocades and wreaths of the fat men's happiness, were blown up in the shimmering wind that blew over the stage, and torn in pieces and fell to the floor, and their laughing masks fell too. to his feet, with a panicked expression on his face.Like bursting bubbles, they shrank and shrank. Everyone looked at each other, blinked their eyes under the stimulation of the unaccustomed light, and finally saw each other's naked truth: ugly face, loose skin and miserable expression, so they cried out in shame and fear. Get up, among them, the cry of Fatty Laughing is the loudest and most clearly recognizable.Only those who don't understand that happiness is completely peaceful, the rest are very excited, trying to run away and hide in the corner, thinking that the corner is not dark enough.But there was no shadow anywhere in the bright garden.So most happiness is helpless, determined to look beyond the aggressive curtain that closes the hole of unhappiness in the right corner.Whenever one of them raised a corner of the curtain in a panic, there came waves of cursing and cursing from the cave.As for the dog, the bread, and the sugar, they all returned dejectedly to the children, and hid behind them in shame. TYLTYL (watching those fat people running happily) God, how ugly they are! ...Where did they go? ... To be honest, I think they're out of their minds... They're going to hide in misfortune, and I'm afraid they'll stay there forever... TYLTYL (looks around, surprised) Oh!What a garden, what a garden! ...where are we? ... The light we have no place to change; it is your eyes that change the range of seeing... We now see things as they are; in the light of diamonds we see happy souls of all kinds. How beautiful Tytil is! ... What a beautiful day! ... as in midsummer ... listen!It seems that someone is approaching, looking for us... [Sure enough, there are many figures of angels in the garden. They seem to be waking up after a long sleep, walking leisurely among the trees.Wearing a gleaming robe, the color is delicate and soft, like the awakening of roses, the smile of water waves, the sky of dawn, the dewdrops like amber... Just look, there are a few lovely, curious bliss coming over, and they'll tell us...   Did you know them Tytyl? ... Just, I know them all; I go to them all the time, and they don't know who I am... Tytil and the others are so many, there are so many of them! ...coming from all directions! ... There are more of them in the past.Those fat happiness killed them a lot. To be honest, Tytil still has a lot left... Just wait until the magic of the diamond spreads to the garden, and you will see more happiness.There is much more happiness in the world than people think; it's just that most people don't find it...   Look, Tytil, there are a few little ones coming, let's go meet them... It's not necessary; anyone who has anything to do with us will pass here.We don't have time to get to know other... [A group of little blissful little ones jumping up and down, laughing loudly, running out from the green bushes, dancing in circles around the children. TYLTYL How pretty, how pretty they are! ... Where did they come from?Who are they? ... This is just child happiness... Can Tytil talk to them? ... It's no use talking about it.They can sing, they can dance, they can scream, but they can't speak yet... TYLTYL (jumping) Hello!Hello! ……Oh!That chubby one is laughing! ... How ruddy their faces are, and how beautiful their robes are! ...are they all rich? ... No, here is the same as everywhere, there are much more poor than rich... What is Tytil poor? ... The light is indistinguishable... All children are always dressed in the most beautiful clothes in the world. TYLTYL (can't help it) I want to dance with them... Light will never do, we don't have time... I can see they don't have bluebirds... Besides, they're busy, you see, they're gone... And they don't have time to linger, because childhood is short... [Another group of happiness is slightly larger than the previous one, rushing to the garden, singing loudly, "Here they come! They come! They see us! They see us!..." They danced a cheerful folk collective dance around the two children, Finally, a figure who seemed to be leading the way walked up to Tytil and held out his hand to him. Hello happiness, Tytil! ... Another Tytyl who knows me! ... (to the light) I've been known everywhere... Who are you? ... you do not recognize me? ...I bet you don't recognize any of you here... Tytil (embarrassed) I don't recognize...I can't tell...I don't remember seeing you... Do you hear happiness? ... I expected it! ...he never saw us! . . . (the other happiness roars with laughter) My little Tytil, we are just as you know them! ...We are always around you! ...we eat, drink, sleep, breathe and live with you! ... Tytil yes, yes, exactly, I see, I remember... but I want to know what your names are... Bliss I know very well that you don't know anything...I am the head of your happiness and these are the other bliss living in your house... Tytil Is there much happiness in my family? ... [All happiness roars with laughter. Good luck to you to hear what he has to say! ...is there a lot of happiness in your home! ...Little poor thing, your family is so happy that you have to squeeze out the doors and windows! ... We laughed, we sang, and the resulting joy could knock down walls and tear off roofs; but we did it for nothing, you saw nothing, you heard nothing... I hope you will Be more sober...now you come and shake hands with the most famous...you will recognize them more easily when you get home...when you have a happy day, you can encourage them at night with a smile and say A nice word to thank them for they really do go out of their way to make your life easy and enjoyable...Let me introduce myself, I'm in the service of your health and happiness...I'm not the prettiest but most important.You will recognize me, right? ... This is the happiness of fresh air, he is almost transparent... This is the happiness of a filial son, he is wearing gray clothes, always frowning, because no one else looks at him... This is the happiness of the blue sky, needless to say he wears Blue clothes; and forest happiness, needless to say, he wears green clothes, you will see him every time you stand in front of the window... This is sunshine time happiness, his clothes shine like diamonds; and spring happiness, he wears Gorgeous emerald outfits... Tytil, do you all dress up like this every day? ... Happiness is, every day, every house, as long as people open their eyes, it is Sunday for us... When night comes, sunset Happiness comes out, he is more handsome than all the kings in the world; Happiness comes out of the stars, he is golden like an ancient god... When the weather is bad, it rains, happiness comes out, he is covered with pearls, and there is winter fire happiness, he opens his beautiful to the frozen hands Crimson cloak... I haven't mentioned the best one yet, for he's almost a transparent brother of joy, which you'll see in a moment; He's the brightest attire...and there's...seriously, there are too many people! ... We can't finish talking, I should send a letter to Joy first, they live in the sky, close to the gate of the kingdom of heaven, they don't know you are here... I almost rushed them with bare feet, and he finally It's nimble and fast... (showing happiness to the bare feet, he jumps forward) You go! ... [At this time, a little devil in a black tights made an indistinguishable cry and squeezed over. He approached Tytyl, using both hands and feet, flicked Tytyl's nose a few times, and hit Ttyl a few times He slapped Tyyl, and then kicked Tytil a few times. TYLTYL (staken, very angry) Who is this wild brat? ... happy yo!It was intolerable pleasure that he slipped out of the hole of misfortune.Don't know where to lock him up.He slipped away everywhere, and even misfortune didn't want to catch him. [The imp continues to tease Tytil, who tries in vain to defend himself, when suddenly, the imp breaks into a burst of laughter, which disappears as suddenly as it came. What's the matter with Tytil?He's kind of crazy, isn't he? ... I alone do not know.It seems that it is the same when you are disobedient.Taking advantage of this time, you should ask about Qingniao.Maybe the happy head of your family knows where the blue bird is... Where is the blue bird Tytyl? ... Fortunately, he will not know where the blue bird is! ... [All family bliss roars with laughter. Tytil I just don't know...nothing funny... [There is another burst of laughter. Be happy, don't be angry... let's be serious too... he doesn't know, what can he do, he's no more ridiculous than most people... look, little Barefoot Talu is happy, and they're coming to us side is coming... [Some tall, beautiful, angelic women in long, shiny dresses have slowly approached. TYLTYL How beautiful they are! ...why don't they laugh? ...Aren't they happy? ... The happiest people are not the only ones who smile... Who are they? ... happiness is joy... Do you know their full names, Tytil? ... Needless to say, happiness, we often play with them... the one at the front is justice and joy, whenever injustice is corrected, she will smile--I am too young, I have never seen her smile.Behind her is kindness and joy, she is the luckiest, but the most sad; she loves to comfort misfortune, it is difficult to stop her from not going.The one on the right is Joy of Work Done, next to her is Joy of Thought.Then there is the understanding of joy, she is always looking for her brother who does not understand happiness... Tytyl I've seen her brother! . . . his happiness with those fat people has gone to misfortune . . . Happiness I have expected! . . . He's a bad student, and having bad company has corrupted him completely... Don't tell his sisters about that.If she goes looking for him, we shall lose one of the most beautiful joys... There is also the aesthetic joy, which adds a few rays of light to the bright garden every day... Tytil and there, far, far away, in the golden clouds, I stood up on tiptoe and stood up, the one I finally saw? ... Happiness is the joy of love... It doesn't matter how you look at it, you are too small to see her whole body... Tytyl and those people over there, at the back, veiled and refusing to come near? ... Happiness is the joy that humans have not yet known... Tytyl, what are these other people doing to us? ...why hide away? ... Happiness has a new joy coming, maybe she is the purest one here... Who is she? ... You don't know her yet? ...Look well, open your eyes, and look into the heart of your soul! ... She saw you, she saw you! ...she is running towards you with outstretched arms! ... This is your mother's joy, mother's love is beyond joy! ... [Other joys cheer her, come running from all directions, and slip away from her again. Maternal love Tytyl, and Mytyl! ...Why, it's you, I'll find you here! ...unexpected! ... I am alone at home, and see you two climbing up to the sky, where all mother's souls shine with joy! ... First come to kiss, try to kiss! ... I put my arms around you both, there is nothing happier in the world! ...Tytil, why don't you smile? ...Mytyl, why don't you smile? ... Don't you recognize your mother's love? ...Look at me well, aren't these my eyes, my lips, and my arms? ... TYLTYL Yes, I recognize it, but I didn't know it before... You look like Mama, but you're much more beautiful... Maternal love, of course, me, I will not grow old... Every day that passes here gives me strength, youth and happiness... Every time you smile, I am one year younger... At home, this is You can't see it, but here, you can see everything, it's true... TYLTIL (surprised, looks at her, kisses her again) What's this beautiful dress made of? ...is it made of satin, or silver, or pearls? ... Mother's love is not, it's made by kissing, looking at, touching... Every kiss adds a ray of moonlight or sunlight to it... Tytil that's funny, I never thought you'd be so rich... where do you hide your dress?Is it in the big locker where Dad holds the key? ... Maternal love is not, I wear it on my body all the time, but others can’t see it, because I can’t see anything with my closed eyes... All mothers, as long as they love their children, are rich...Mothers are not poor, Ugly and old... Their love is always the most beautiful of joys... Whenever they show melancholy, whenever they get a kiss, or if they are kissed, all the tears in their eyes become Star…… TYLTIL (looks at her in wonder) Yes, indeed, your eyes are full of stars... These are your eyes, but much prettier... And here are your hands too, with little rings... Even The burn scar from when you lit the lamp that night is still there... but this hand is much whiter and the skin is so thin! ...as if the hand would emit light... This hand doesn't need to work like at home, does it? ... A mother's love is the same hand; have you not seen that hand, which turns white and radiates at the touch of you? ... It's strange, Tytil, mother, it's your voice; but your voice is much better than at home...   Mother's love has too many things to do at home, so I don't have time to spare... But you can understand what you don't say... Now that you have seen me, when you come home tomorrow, I will be wearing a ragged skirt, will you recognize me? ... Tytil, I don't want to go home... Since you are here, I want to stay here too, as long as you are here I am... Mother's love But, it's one thing, I live in the world, we all live in the world... You came here to understand and learn how to see me when you see me in the lower world... Do you understand, my tytil? ...Now you think it's heaven; but it's heaven wherever we kiss...There can't be two mothers, you can't have other mothers...Each child has only one mother, always the one, Always the most beautiful; but you must know her and know how to look at her... How did you come here, this road has been sought since man has inhabited the earth, how did you find it? ... Tytil (pointing to the light, which hides aside out of caution) She brought me here... Maternal love who is she? ... Tytil is light... Mother's love I've never met her...I heard that Guang likes you two very much, she is very kind...but why is she hiding? ... Always refusing to show her face? ... Tytil, she is worried that happiness will panic and be afraid when seeing her think it is too bright... Maternal love, she doesn't know that we are waiting for her! ... (calling other joys) Come, come, my sisters!Come here, run over here, Guang finally came to visit us! ...
