[_The_ LAMB _is drinking from the brook. The_ WOLF _enters._]

WOLF. Aha! There is my dinner. Now I'll make it seem that I ought to eat
her. Lamb, Lamb, how dare you? How dare you?

LAMB. What do you mean, sir?

WOLF. How dare you muddle the water?

LAMB. The water is clear where you stand, sir.

WOLF. The water is muddled where I stand, miss.

LAMB. How can that be, sir?

WOLF. I say the water here is muddled.

LAMB. But, sir, the water runs from you to me.

WOLF. Oh, well, we will say no more about the water. Now just one year
ago you called me names.

LAMB. How could that be, sir?

WOLF. I say you called me names, miss.
