ACT IV SCENE II — The Palace of Happiness
Tyltyl and Mytyl have been searching for the Blue Bird in the Land of Memory, the Palace of Night and the Forest. Now, they have arrived at the Palace of Happiness.
(A troop of HAPPINESSES rush into the ball, singing, “There they are! They see us!” They dance merrily around the CHILDREN, then the one who appears to be the chief goes up to TYLTYL with hand outstretched.)THE HAPPINESS: How do you do, Tyltyl TYLTYL: Who are you
ACT VI SCENE II — The Awakening
Unable to find the Blue Bird anywhere, the children say goodbye to their magical friends and return home. While they are trying to tell their parents about their adventures, their neighbour comes in. Her sick daughter has wanted Tyltyl’s pet bird for a long time, but until now her has been reluctant to give it to her.
(Enter NEIGHBOUR BERLINGOT, a little old woman leaning on a stick.) MUMMY TYL: How is your little girl THE NEIGHBOUR: Only so-so. She can’t get up. But I know what would cure her.
Why does the Blue Bird fly away in the end
Happiness, just like the Blue Bird, can not stay with us forever. It might disappear if we don’t value it. It may be lost but it can be found again. So we should cherish happiness and keep pursuing happiness.
