The curtain went up. Out on the stage came the Wong boys, turning hand springs.

They did somersaults forward and backward while Tommy beat the drum.

They stood on their heads. They tumbled all over the stage and ended up with the smallest Wong boy standing on his brothers’ shoulders.

“Hurrah! Hurrah!” Shouts and cheers came from the audience.

The next act was Tommy and his raccoon.

Tommy was dressed like a clown and the raccoon climbed up on his shoulder.

Then the raccoon walked up and down steps.

The audience clapped and Tommy bowed and led his raccoon off the stage.

But when he came back, walking on stilts, with his friend Nappy, what do you think happened?
