Teen-Kid: Wow! That's what my dad is after. Is that possible?Fairy: Yes, and I am going to show you how. Why is playing so much fun?
Teen-Kid: Because only adults are so dead-serious about everything?
Fairy: Yeah, that, too. But why does it feel so good?
Teen-Kid: Let's see, I do what I want, I play 'till I fall down. I get all sweaty...
Fairy: That's good. Keep going.
Teen-Kid: I don't really remember where I am, when I play, and soon it's evening, and I'm being called for dinner.
Fairy: So, what you're telling me is, you express yourself without restrictions, you stretch your body more than yesterday, your circulation is radical..., you forget that you're here, and there's no regard to time.
Teen-Kid: Yeah! That's what I meant.
Fairy: Do you know what 'business' is?
Teen-Kid: Being busy?
Fairy: Yes, and what else?
Teen-Kid: Being busy to make money?
Fairy: Right. At least
people that are busy rushing around think so.
Teen-Kid: So, they think so, but it isn't like that?
Fairy: I tell you
truth, what they 'DO' makes no difference.
Teen-Kid: Okay, so, when I play a game, or pretend to be Yul Brunner, or Telly Savalas I do something, don't I?
Fairy: Yes.
Teen-Kid: Then, doesn't what I do matter?
Fairy: No.
Teen-Kid: Hmmm. Wait a minute, so it's what I get out of it, right?
Fairy: Not exactly.
Teen-Kid: That's odd... What then am I playing for?
Fairy: It's not 'what' you do, and it’s not ‘what’ you ‘get’, it's 'why' you do it. Why do you pretend to be Yul Brunner?
Teen-Kid: Cause I like him and
way he played in
King and I.
Fairy: Sure, keep going.
Teen-Kid: I want to be like him.
