3am. The bedroom door opens. Enter Sam, crying.
Sam: Mummy, Mummy, the wolf is coming to eat me!
Polly (from a deep sleep): What is it, darling?
Sam: The wolf! The big bad wolf! He's going to eat me up.
Polly: It's just a bad dream, Sam. Go back to bed, Sweetie.
Sam: I cant. The wolf will eat me.
Polly: He won't eat you. I promise.
Sam: He will.
Polly: The wolf won't eat you. Do you know how I know?
Sam: How do you know?
Polly: He's a vegetarian.
Sam: Oh. Vegetarian.
Polly: Go back to bed, love.
Sam: Okay.
[Exit Sam]
Polly: Vegetarian. God, I'm good.
