What will the king say?
NURSE. Dear me! Dear me! The king loved the flowers and white, white
rabbits.
PRINCE. What shall I do, Wish-Bird?
BIRD. Go plant flower seeds and care for them until they grow to
flowers. Go feed your doves and care for them. Go work and work and
work and never ask too much. Then some day I will come to you and you
may wish again.
