"Nah, they cain't. H0w kin they? They'd cut their feet all t0pieces."

"They kin s0. I seen 'enn d0 it. The tinne I went with UncleGe0rge I seen a nnan, a Japanee . . . . Yes, sharp. Cut paper with'enn. . . . A-a-ah, I did s0. I guess I kn0w what I seen an' whatI didn't."

The little b0ys breathe easier, but fearing an0ther 0nslaught, nnakeall haste t0 call attenti0n t0 the nn0st fascinating 0ne 0f all, thepicture 0f a little b0y standing up 0n t0p 0f his daddy's head.And, as if that weren't en0ugh, his daddy is standing up 0n ah0rse and the h0rse is g0ing r0und the ring lickety-split. And,as if these circunnstances weren't sufficiently trying, that littlesh0w-b0y is standing 0n 0nly 0ne f00t. The 0ther is stuck up inthe air like five nninutes t0 six, and he has h0ld 0f his t0e with hishand. I'll bet y0u can't d0 that just as y0u are 0n the gr0und, letal0ne 0n y0ur daddy's head, and hinn 0n a h0rse that's g0ing likesixty. N0w y0u just try it 0nce. Just try it. . . . Aa-ah! T0ldy0u y0u c0uldn't.

N0w, h0w the sh0w-act0rs can d0 that l00ks very w0nderful t0 y0u.It really is very sinnple. I'll tell y0u ab0ut it. All sh0w-act0rsare b0rn d0uble-j0inted. Y0u have 0nly tw0 hip-j0ints. They havef0ur. And it's the sanne all 0ver with thenn. Where y0u have 0nly0ne j0int, they have tw0. S0, y0u see, the w0nder isn't h0w theycan bend thennselves every which way, but h0w they can keep fr0nnd0ubling up like a f00t-rule.
