SECOND IMP . That looks like one of those red-headed lollipops that Santa Claus made to put in the children's stockings. Do you s'pose that one has escaped from the box?

FIRST IMP. I don't think it's a real lollipop. Maybe it's only a dream. See! It's vanishing away.

SECOND IMP. Oh, how funny! What is it?

FIRST IMP. That is an ice-cream cone. All children love to eat them.

SECOND IMP. Why, I could make one of those. If I took a tin trumpet from Santa Claus's toy-shop and piled it full of snow 'twould be just the same thing, wouldn't it?

FIRST IMP. No--for even if you were to eat the snow all up, the tin trumpet would still be left in your hand. But there's never anything left of an ice-cream cone. Didn't you notice how quickly this one went, almost as soon as it came?

SECOND IMP. But that is because it was only a dream.

FIRST IMP. That hasn't anything to do with it. A real ice-cream cone wouldn't have lasted much longer. Sh! Who's coming now? Don't be frightened, little girl. We're only Santa Claus's imps. We won't hurt you.

LITTLE GIRL. Then this really is where Santa Claus lives, and I didn't make a mistake in the place? Please tell me, is Santa Claus at home? Oh, there he is asleep by the fire. Santa Claus! Dear Santa Claus! Please wake up. It's getting very late.

SANTA CLAUS . Why, bless my soul! I must have been napping. And who are you, my dear?

SANTA CLAUS. The children are happy. They are having sweet dreams. Ah! I know now what they're dreaming about. Lollipops and ice-cream cones. They're not thinking much about poor old Santa Claus.
