Dad: Do not worry children. We are here and surely find our Bruno. Where did you see him last?
Charlotte: Daddy, I saw Bruno playing near the lake house while we were enjoying the sunset.
Margot, Charlotte and their father enter a new scene
Margot: I am scared of the dark and worried about Bruno. Bruno! Bruno! Can you hear us?
Both the children hold the hands of their father and call out Bruno near the woods.
Charlotte: Dad, we should have been careful and looked after Bruno.
Dad: It is okay sweetheart. You shall not fear because Bruno is a big dog and surely misses both
of you. We just need to find him and bring him back home safely.
Suddenly a distant feeble voice of a dog is audible. All of them call out to Bruno at once. A man

Man: Hello little girls. What makes you wander around the woods at this time of the night?
