Bedtime

Five minutes, five minutes more, please! Let me stay five minutes more! Can't I just finish the castle I'm building here on the floor? Can't I just finish the story I'm reading here in my book? Can't I just finish this bead-chain — It almost is finished, look! Can't I just finish this game, please? When a game's once begun It's a pity never to find out Whether you've lost or won. Can't I just stay five minutes? Well, can't I just stay just four? Three minutes, then? two minutes? Can't I stay one minute more?
