I haven't come very far,' said the curly boy.
'No?' asked the dishevelled little owl.
'I've made so many mistakes,' said the curly boy.
'I've taken so many wrong turns,
'and now I'm only up to here!' 
'Oh,' said the dishevelled little owl.

(Pause.)

'I don't know where I'm going,' said the curly boy.

(Pause.)

'How do I know which way is right,' said the curly boy, 'and which way is wrong?'

(Pause.)

'What do you think?' asked the curly boy.

(Pause.)

'I think I'm glad you're here,' said the dishevelled little owl.
'With us,' said the first little owl.
'Right now,' said the second little owl.
'Really?' asked the curly boy.
'Truly,' said the dishevelled little owl, the first little owl, and the second little owl, together.
