Bears are tapping their paws to the beat, a lion jumps through a flaming hoop, a monkey in a yellow tunic rides a bicycle, the whip cracks and the music sounds, the whip cracks and animals roll their eyes, an elephant carries around a pitcher on his head, dogs are dancing with carefully measured steps. I'm very much ashamed, I --a human. A horrible time was had that day: boisterous applause was not lacking, though an arm longer by the length of a whip cast a sharp shadow on the sand. -translated by Walter Whipple |
