Little Girl : Look! Live children!
Tyltyl : Why do they call us live children?
Mytyl : I don't know.
Young Lad : You're live children, aren't you?
Mytyl : Well, of course we're alive. Aren't you alive?
Young Lad : Not yet. We're waiting to be born.
Little Girl : Look how funny they dress.
Mytyl : I was thinking the same thing about you.
Little Girl : What are those things on your feet?
Mytyl : They're my shoes. They're for protecting your feet from thorns and stones and the cold.
Young Lad : It's all very confusing, but I expect we'll understand it when we're born.
Mytyl : Why don't you get born?
Young Lad : We will, but we have to wait our turn. Is it nice on Earth?
Tyltyl : Yeah, it's all right.
Mytyl : It's beautiful!
