DISCLAIMER: I don't own Wicked, or Grimm's Fairy Tales

There was once a little child named Galinda, whose mother gave her every afternoon a small bowl of milk and bread, and the girl seated herself in the yard with it. But when she began to eat, a snake came creeping out of a crevice in the wall, dipped its little head in the dish, and ate with her.

"Eep!" Galinda shrieked "A snake! Why is that horrendilble creature eating my snack?"

"Because." The narrator said

"You're mean!"

"I know."

The child took pleasure in this,

"No I don't! Liar!"

"Shh."

and when she was sitting there with her little dish and the snake did not come at once,

"Yay! No snake!"

she cried,

"Snake, snake, come swiftly hither come, thou tiny thing, thou shalt have thy crumbs of bread, thou shalt refresh thyself with milk.

"Nooo! I don't want the mean snake taking all my food!" The blonde pouted

Then the snake came in haste, and enjoyed its food. It even showed gratitude, for it brought the child all kinds of pretty things from its hidden treasures, bright stones, pearls, and golden playthings.

"Ooh! Shiny!"

The snake, however, drank only the milk, and left the bread-crumbs alone. Then one day the child took its little spoon and struck the snake gently on its head, and said,

"eat the bread-crumbs as well, little thing." The mother,named Elphaba,

"Elphie? You're my mother?"

"Apparently..."

who was standing in the kitchen, heard the child talking to someone, and when she saw that she was striking a snake with her spoon, ran out with a log of wood, and killed the good little creature.

"I object!" the green girl cried in fury, "I will not kill the poor snake! What if it's a Snake? Then what am I supposed to do? I can't just go around murdering things!"

"Oops, sorry Elphie." The narrator apologized

From that time forth, a change came over the child. As long as the snake had eaten with her, she had grown tall and strong, but now she lost her pretty rosy cheeks and wasted away. It was not long before the funeral bird began to cry in the night, and the redbreast to collect little branches and leaves for a funeral wreath and soon afterwards the child lay on her bier.

"No! Galinda!" Elphaba sobbed, "You can't be dead!"

"I'm not dead..." Galinda sat up, confused

"Hey! Lay back down and close your eyes!" The narrator shouted at the blonde

"Oh. Sorry."

An orphan child, named Nessarose was sitting by the town walls spinning, when she saw a snake coming out of a hole low down in the wall.

"Oh!" Nessa shrieked

"What are you doing to my sister, Sabrina?" Elphaba demanded

"Nothing!"

Swiftly she spread out beside it one of the blue silk handkerchiefs for which snakes have such a strong liking, and which are the only things they will creep on. As soon as the snake saw it, it went back, then returned, bringing with it a small golden crown, laid it on the handkerchief, and then went away again.

"That was really strange..."

The girl took up the crown, which glittered and was of delicate golden filagree work.

"Ooh! It's sparkley!"

It was not long before the snake came back for the second time, but when it did not see the crown any more, it crept up to the wall, and in its grief threw its little head against it as long as it had strength to do so, until at last it lay there dead.

"Nessa! You murdered that snake!" Elphana said, very upset.

"I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to cause a snake scuicide!"

If the girl had but left the crown where it was, the snake would certainly have brought still more of its treasures out of the hole.

"Shame on you!" Elphaba cried

The Snake cries, 'huhu, huhu.'

Elphaba says, 'come out.'

The snake comes out, whereupon Elphaba inquires about her little sister,

'Have you not seen little red shoes?'

The snake says, 'no, I have not. Have you? Huhu, huhu, huhu.'
