This was the show, the hippodrome, the spectacular circus that passed on the east sky before the eyes of Fire the Goat and Flim the Goose.

“Which is this, who are they and why do they come?” Flim the Goose asked Fire the Goat.

Away off where the sun was coming up, there were
people and animals

“Do you ask me because you wish me to tell you?” asked Fire the Goat.

“Indeed it is a question to which I want an honest answer.”

“Has never the father or mother nor the uncle or aunt nor the kith and kin of Flim the Goose told him the what and the which of this?”

“Never has the such of this which been put here this way to me by anybody.”
