Karin drove her little Beetle back to the warehouse, and got out of the car absent-mindedly. The conversation with George Williams in the restaurant just now came to mind again.

"What kind of performance do you need my Jack to do?" Karin asked her own doubts.

When George Williams heard it, he immediately smiled and looked at Karin with funny eyes. He stopped cutting the steak and said, "You seem very worried?"

"Yeah, I'm concerned, like you said before, you're looking at professional animal stars in Hollywood, so that means you need acting, not just... riding a little bike, or Regular performances such as throwing a ball." Karin looked at George Williams seriously, "What you want is a performance that is more difficult and even has a certain degree of danger, right?"

George Williams put down the knife and fork in his hand, clasped his hands and put it under his chin, and said with a smile: "Five thousand dollars, Miss Barnum, this is not a small amount, why should I give a willow What do stupid monkeys riding bicycles pay that much?"

Karin asked, "Can you tell me what kind of performance I need to do?"

However, George Williams refused. He looked at Karin with a smile and said, "Sorry, first of all, your monkey hasn't passed my test. Besides, we are just in a negotiation state. I can't tell you. I need What monkeys did at that private party."

Karin was silent.

"It seems that you are a bit reluctant?" George Williams picked up the knife and fork again, "But it doesn't matter, let's eat first! You can think about my words carefully."

A sliver of orange light leaked through the crack of the warehouse door, and sprinkled on Karin's insteps. She looked down at her feet, was silent for a while, then raised her head suddenly, grabbed the handle of the iron door and pulled it open.

In the warehouse, Charlie the elephant is slowly rolling grass into his mouth with his nose by the haystack, Laura the flower hen is squatting by the haystack, giggling, and other animals are building a wooden building on the other side. Rest in a simple grid room.

Karin looked around, but she didn't see the black-capped hanging monkey Jack. She walked towards Charlie and Laura and asked, "Where is Jack?"

"Jack?" Laura turned her little head to look around, and said, "I haven't seen him since I ate his banana, Charlie, have you seen him?"

Charlie stuffed a bunch of hay into his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and said in a rough voice, "Didn't you hear him say he was going to see those two kids?"

"Oh! Really? I probably forgot!" Laura flapped her wings and tilted her head to look at Karin, "Hey, girl, you don't look very pale. Didn't you go out to discuss business? It seems that the result is not good? "

After hearing what Laura said, Karin reached out and touched her cheek, and asked suspiciously, "Who do you think Jack went to see?"

"Those two kids, the two little pigs you brought back today!" Charlie said, rolling up a bunch of hay with his nose, shaking it slowly for a few moments before stuffing it into his mouth.

When Karin heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she turned and left.

When Karin pushed open the door of the wooden house, what she saw at a glance was not the scene she was worried about. On the ground beside the sofa, the little pig brothers were squatting side by side, listening to Jack the black-capped hanging monkey sitting on the sofa. In the endless storytelling, the two of them exclaimed the modal particles from time to time: "Wow! Oh! Ya!"

She stopped at the door and looked at them silently.

When Jack finished telling the story, he turned to her and yelled, "Hey! You're eavesdropping!"

Karin smiled and said, "No, I'm just listening to your story, about our circus."

"You know these things much better than I do, so you still need to listen?" Jack jumped off the sofa, "Where did you go? You left these two children alone!"

"I'm going out to discuss business," Karin said.

Jack walked up to Karin, looked up at her, and said, "You smell like steak! Did you eat steak?"

"No, it's not me, it's our client." Karin stretched out her hand towards Jack, it jumped onto her arm, climbed nimbly to her shoulder and sat down, she stroked it gently and said, "You The story is well told."

Jack snorted and said, "It must!"

Brother Pig looked at Jack who was squatting on Karin's shoulder, and Paige said, "Jack said, your great-great-great-grandfather was the first-generation head of the circus and collected many strange people to perform. Is it true?"

"Yes!" Karin walked in front of them slowly, "However, you can't say that they are weird people, they are just different from normal people in appearance."

Page looked at her and said, "We are different to you humans, why don't you call us monsters?"

"Monster?" Karin smiled. "I remember a friend of mine when I was a child. When he found out that I could talk to animals, he called me a monster."

Paige didn't understand why she didn't answer her own question, but instead said this, asking, "Are you a monster?"

"She's no monster, children!" Jack said gravely.

Karin thought for a while and said, "Maybe I am! Whether it's humans or other animal groups, if there is a different one, it will basically be regarded as a monster, but... I think" she watched Two Little Pigs, "I think it's a talent, like the rest of us at the circus."

Jack nodded and said, "Do you two understand?"

Edward whispered: "I think you are very good, not a monster."

Karin smiled and said to Edward: "Thank you, but I don't care if I am a monster in people's eyes. Sometimes, being a monster may not be a bad thing." Jack then, "I have something I want to talk to you in private."

Jack widened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you want to talk to me alone?"

"Because of work." Karin said, "By the way, I'll take you back to the next door."

Jack thought for a while, and said: "Okay! Let's go!" After speaking, he waved his arm towards the door, turned his head and said to Brother Pig, "I haven't finished talking today, if I have time tomorrow, I will talk to you again." Let's keep talking!"

The little pig brothers nodded in unison.

Karin turned around and led Jack out of the cabin, but instead of going to the warehouse next door, she walked towards the woods next to the warehouse.

Jack asked suspiciously: "Hey! Where are you going?"

Karin reached out and patted it on the back. "I need to talk to you alone."

Jack hopped onto the nearest tree to them. He squatted on the branch and said, "Come on! What work do you want to talk about? You have to take advantage of my patience!"

Karin looked up at Jack in the tree and said, "Well, I know you are most impatient to talk about work, but Jack, I have to talk to you, I just went out because someone came to see us, he Said he needed a monkey to put on a show."

"Then you just agree. Isn't this kind of thing what you should do? Besides, it's not the first time you have received an invitation to perform from me, so you can just accept it? Why do you want to talk to me?" Jack said After finishing, he turned his head and grabbed the branch and swung towards another tree.

Karin walked forward and said, "Because this performance is not easy."

Jack hung upside down, looked at Karin, and asked, "What? What's not easy, anyway, I can do it, and I can do it next." After speaking, he turned over and jumped onto a thick branch next to him. superior.

"Hey, Jack! Can you stop for a moment!" Karin said helplessly.

Jack turned his head and followed it to Karin on the ground. It hung on a branch with one hand, picked a leaf with the other hand, stuffed it into its mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "Can you talk without hesitating! "

"What hesitating! You don't want to listen to me at all!" Karin put her hips on her hips and looked up at Jack who finally stopped.

Jack squatted on the branch, held the leaf in his mouth and said, "That's because you can't speak well! Say it!"

Karin looked at Jack speechlessly.

"You won't say? Then I'm leaving!" Jack spat out the leaves in his mouth and stood up.

"The people who come to you to perform are willing to hire you for five thousand dollars," Karin said.

Jack staggered and almost fell off the branch. He grabbed the branch, looked up at her and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Next!"

"I didn't say no!" Karin looked back at it and said, "I told you just now, if this time's list goes on, it might not be easy for you to perform."

"It's not easy and you don't pick it up? How do you know I can't do it? Also, don't think I don't know that you can't pay the bill!" Jack pointed in the direction of the warehouse, "In this case, You should proceed without hesitation, and I will handle the rest!"

"No! It's not just about the performance, but also..." Karin showed a embarrassed look, "The client said that he will test you. If you fail the test, the list will be gone."

"What!" Jack yelled angrily. He grabbed the branch and kicked his feet violently on it, shouting at Karin: "No! No! No! What kind of customer is this kind of customer! I won’t go even if I’m killed!”

Karin couldn't help but wryly smiled as she watched Jack running around in the woods.See, she knew Jack's haughty character, so she didn't immediately agree to George Williams to let him do the so-called test on Jack.

"Wait! How much do you think the client paid me to perform?" Jack danced frantically in the woods, then suddenly turned back and landed on the tree in front of Karin and asked.

"Five thousand dollars," Karin replied.

Jack scratched his head and said, "Did you agree?"

"It's not something I promise or not." Karin looked at Jack. "The key is whether you are willing to have a small test on you."
