Scene II.
Reading edition
After flying a little way, she settles down among some pretty wild flowers, and finds herself close to a large owl. “What are you?” he says, for he cannot see well in the daylight. “Please, sir, I’m a little girl, only a good fairy has given me wings, that I may see the world, and grow wiser.” “Ha, ha, ha!” laughs the owl, “see the world indeed! Why, I’ve lived in the same barn all my life, and I’m the wisest bird there is; everybody knows that.”
“What a conceited, stupid old thing!” says Tiny to herself as she flies away.
