MAURICE:
First prize is nearly mine
It's quite my best invention
So simple, yet complex;
So massive, yet so small
This triumph of design
Will be my old-age pension
(He looks around, concerned)
That is, provided I can find the fair at all
I must have missed a sign...
I should have paid attention...Drat!
(He looks back. We hear a howl.)
That's not a nightingale, and not a mating call.
(Another howl.)
Wolves!
