Do you know, stranger bird, that, with these crumbs, you
have brought us in all one loaf?
[_Our Sparrow drops the crust for the others. At once it changes into_
INGE. _The birds fly away frightened._]
INGE. Ah! Now I understand. The loaf had to be made up, crumb by crumb.
[_The_ WICKED ELF _suddenly appears._]
WICKED ELF. Come, pretty maid, come to the Elf Hill!
INGE. No, no! I will not!
WICKED ELF. But we have such pretty things to tell you!
INGE. I care not for your pretty things! I go to fetch wood for my mother.
I go to walk in the mud if need be. Away with you! I'll have none of you!
Away, away, I say!
