(small boy calling into the distance) "Kindle! Kiiiiiiiiin-dle!"
(looking to mother) "Mom, I'm worried. Kindle's never been gone this long. Do you think something's wrong?"
(mother smiling while continuing to sweep porch) "I wouldn't worry, Timmy. Kindle's a smart one. He'll be back." (sudden dread appears on face) " Unless he's fallen into the well."
