A few minutes later the door opened and Ellen came in again, frowning, and still carrying the lion. She set him down in the big chair.

“I’m sorry you can’t be in the play,” she said.

“That’s all right,” said the lion. “Besides, there was one argument your mother didn’t think of.”

“What was that?” said Ellen.

“If you held me in one of your arms you’d only have four points.”

“That’s right,” Ellen said, after thinking about it. “Nobody would know I was a star.”

“Nobody would know,” the lion said. “And everybody would miss the point of the play.”

“It starts at three o’clock,” said Ellen. “I have to go now.”

“Good-bye,” said the lion.

“I’ll tell you all about it when I get back,” Ellen said from the doorway.

“I’ll be waiting to hear about it,” said the lion.

“Good luck.”

Ellen left, walking with her arms stretched out and with her feet spread, like a star.
