'I've been waiting for you,' said the red fox.
'Have you?' asked the yellow dress girl.
'I didn't know I was coming this way myself, until just now.'
'I know,' said the red fox.
'How do you know?' asked the yellow dress girl.
'The owls told me,' said the red fox.

(Pause.)

'Owls!' said the yellow dress girl.
'What did they say?'
'They asked me to show you the way,' said the red fox.
'Where to?' asked the yellow dress girl.
'A better place,' said the red fox.
'I'm always looking for a better place,' said the yellow dress girl. 

(Pause.)

'But...' said the yellow dress girl.
'What?' asked the red fox.
'I go this way,' said the yellow dress girl.
'Why do you go that way?' asked the red fox.
'I always go this way,' said the yellow dress girl.
'The owls' way is better,' said the red fox.
