Why , perhaps the Prince and Princess may go to live in a country where there is a deep river , and perhaps they may have one only son , a little fair-haired boy with violet eyes like the Prince himself ; and perhaps some day he may go out to walk with his nurse ; and perhaps the nurse may go to sleep under a great elder-tree ; and perhaps the little boy may fall into the deep river and be drowned . What a terrible misfortune ! Poor people , to lose their only son ! It is really too dreadful ! I shall never get over it . '' `` But they have not lost their only son , '' said the Roman Candle ; `` no misfortune has happened to them at all . '' `` I never said that they had , '' replied the Rocket ; `` I said that they might . If they had lost their only son there would be no use in saying anything more about the matter . I hate people who cry over spilt milk . But when I think that they might lose their only son , I certainly am very much affected . '' `` You certainly are ! '' cried the Bengal Light . `` In fact , you are the most affected person I ever met . '' `` You are the rudest person I ever met , '' said the Rocket , `` and you can not understand my friendship for the Prince . '' `` Why , you do n't even know him , '' growled the Roman Candle . `` I never said I knew him , '' answered the Rocket . `` I dare say that if I knew him I should not be his friend at all . It is a very dangerous thing to know one 's friends . '' `` You had really better keep yourself dry , '' said the Fire-balloon . `` That is the important thing . ''
`` Very important for you , I have no doubt , '' XXXXX the Rocket , `` but I shall weep if I choose '' ; and he actually burst into real tears , which flowed down his stick like rain-drops , and nearly drowned two little beetles , who were just thinking of setting up house together , and were looking for a nice dry spot to live in .
