-- Where are the others?

-- They're asleep. They're not scared.
-- Oh, no? Look. All right everybody, up here on the bed.
-- Really?
-- Well, just this once. Come on. Now all we have to do is wait for the boys.
-- You won't see them. Boys are brave.
-- You boys weren't scared too, were you?
-- Oh, no. We just wanted to be sure that you weren't.
-- That's very thoughtful of you Friedick. -It wasn't my idea. It was Kurt's!
-- Kurt! That's the one I left out! God bless Kurt.
-- Why does it do that?
-- Well, the lightning says something to the thunder, and the thunder answers back.
-- But the lightning must be nasty.
-- Not really.
-- Why does the thunder get so angry? It makes me want to cry.
-- Well, now when anything bothers me and I'm feeling unhappy, I just try to think of nice
things.
