Act III Some idiot was playing a fiddle. Where was all the music coming from, Edna wondered amid her frenzied state. And then the diet fairy pointed her wand downward, to the child that was sitting at the wooden table. My, what a delightful child - a splendid child, a beautiful child, Edna thought with sudden glee! And then she recognized the form of the face, the tilt of the heart-shaped chin.... Oh my...it was her, as a wee, rag of a muffin child. What spindly legs, she laughed with glee. And then Edna studied the plate before the child. Green beans, roasted chicken, a biscuit, and a small bowl of chopped fruit for dessert. Such a healthy child! A delightful child! A smart diet child! The child was suddenly running towards a large alley with the words, 'Village Health Spa' written on its hinged gates. "Going to take a swim, no doubt at the healthy health spa," Edna thought, and then she gasped as the spa suddenly disappeared before her eyes. In desperation, she glanced at the Diet Fairy for an explanation. "Health nuts should do this world a favor by quickly decreasing the surplus population!" the Diet Fairy bit out. Suddenly, Edna Weezer was spiraling back in time, landing with a plop on her bed where she drifted off into an exhausted sleep. Act IV "Bong, Bong, Bong," chimed the bell tower. Three am in the morning. "Edna Weezer, wake up," a man echoed in a deep voice. "It's time to visit your Diet Christmas Present." Edna reared up in bed, sizing up the ghost who looked a bit like old Cringle himself. But this fellow wasn't such a jolly old elf.... Edna quickly found herself roaming the village, seeing herself in quaint, familiar restaurants eating forbidden foods. In one corner of the village bakery stood a woman, her face cloudy and unidentifiable. She looked as if she were on her last leg....as if...she were fading away... "Tell me sir, what is to become of the woman? She looks rather....ill and...as if she is fading from view..." Edna eased out softly. "That's Tiny Trim Edna," the ghost of Diet Present eased out in his loud voice, so loud that the curtains in the bakery flapped back and forth. "If Tiny Trim Edna isn't nourished and taken seriously, she will soon pass and fade forever. A Big Edna will take her place and Tiny Trim Edna will be no more." "That's me," Edna eased out thoughtfully, admiring the curves on her mirrored self. That's what she would have looked like if she would have stayed on her blasted diet plan.... "Please, ghost of Christmas Present, tell me what I need to do to keep the Tiny Trim Edna?' The ghost sanded a hand over his chin in thought. "Visit Diet Bites daily of course-" "Yes, of course - I know that, but what else?" Edna blurted out, seeing that Tiny Trim Edna was fading fast. "You must change, Edna Weezer, for Tiny Trim Edna's passing is merely a shadow of things to come if you don't change your diet ways...." click to continue
