'Life's one big balancing act,' said the small girl.

'Not really,' said the yellow duck.

'I think about putting a foot wrong all the time,' said the small girl.

'I don’t,’ said the yellow duck.

'I think, "What if I fall?"' said the small girl.
'Not me,' said the yellow duck.

(Pause.)

'Hmmm...' said the dishevelled little owl.
'What if...?'

'Yes?' said the first little owl.

'What if,' said the dishevelled little owl,
'you didn't worry about things in front, or behind,
'or things on this or that side?'

(Pause.)

'And what if...?' said the dishevelled little owl.

'And never looking down?' said the small girl.

'And never looking down,' said the dishevelled little owl.
