Maiden.
[Stretching arms toward Candy-box Jack.]
All the Toys are as fine as can be,
But Jack-in-the-Candy-box for me!
[Jack jumps out of the Candy-box and places his hands on the shoulders of the little Maiden.]
[All dance the Norwegian Folkdance “Up to the Moon in a Rainbow,” using these words.]
[All sing.]
Guess, guess, where I would like to be,
Like to be, like to be.
Up on the top of the Christmas tree,
Up on the Christmas tree!
Yes, yes, that would be
Great, great fun for me.
Yes, that would be great fun for me,
To be up on the Christmas tree!
[As they finish there is the sound of a clock striking five. Candy-box Jack and all the Toys go back to their former places and remain motionless. Fairy softly leads Maiden out. Jack pops his head out and throws a candy kiss after her. She runs back to get it and waves good-by.]
