Children drift out of houses in nightclothes miming sadness at parental strife. As storm music begins, the children's game and song is the invocation of the storm. Owl spirit enters unseen by children and. At end, a little child points in wonder to back of auditorium. We hear the rhythmic jingling of bells as the dancers emerge out of the storm entering through house as band plays with L.O.D. theme.
All children gather around in welcome.
Band and Adult chorus. Full cast enters as it begins. Brass, full chorus and audience. The frame of the Meeting House is the set beyond which we see the village. Light snow is falling.
