Lord. Who are you waiting for?
Lady.First-footer, darling. Do you know that the first person who comes into the house after the midnight, must be a tall, good-looking young man. He must be dark-haired otherwise the next year will be unlucky.
Lord. Look, somebody is coming. First-footer enters the door. First-footer. I am a first-footer. I came to bring you a good luck for the next year. I have a piece of coal with me to bring warmth to your house. (Comes up to the fire-place, puts the coal in and stirs the fire.) I have a loaf of bread, too, to bring wealth to your house. (Comes up to the table and divides bread among the members of the family.) I have bottle of water for you not to be thirsty all year round. (Pours water into glasses and they drink together.)
