Zimta: Ah, friend Shakkyo

Zimta: **singing** Oh, little little
green tree, who has come to me from far away… the master’s hand has entrusted meeeee -- with your dearest care…
Buddha Girl:
Hey, green-hair lady, dat a mighty fine bonsai you gots! We used to have one, long time ago.
Angry Sparrow:
Yeh, it got burned up.
Tragic
Zimta: I am sad for you, little ones, that you no
longer have your bonsai – but many thanks to you for your compliments on mine!
Tancredi: Ah, un arbre petit. Zat ees ver-ree
nice, Mam-zelle Zeem-ta.

Zimta: Such a kind thing you say, Man of Tan. Is it
not a jewel of horticulture, and am I not the most fortunate of recipients?
Oona: What is all the excitement about? – oh!

Buddha Girl: Yeh, we could use anudder bonsai aroun’ here!

ear**

Zimta: NOTHING must EVER happen to this precious
plant – NEVER could I face friend Shakkyo then. BEG I
of you to avert your eyes from these innocent leaves -- *sob*
Oona: My goodness -- !

Zimta: **weeping to herself – at least it’s

Hibou: *hooooo*

Buddha Girl:

Angry Sparrow:

Tragic
Zimta: **still weeping** Hurt not the little ones *snif* Hurt not the tree *sob*…
Oona: WHY do things get so complicated around here?... as if I don’t know the answer to THAT.
Though she may go to pieces, Zimta always recovers her composure and manners, and thanks
Shakkyo again in this sweet piece:
Tanaka Tadashi, please to
convey my gratitude to Shakkyo…
