DANCING SNAKES

I thank you all, ladies and gentlemen, the attention you're giving me. Now, I want to change some things of the history of this great circus, and go through other paths a little more moral.

While we acted in Thailand, we were lucky to visit many places there. Until the day we came to a small town where they told us that there, we would find many artists. So we ventured into the village until I stop walking, to hear better. I was listening to the sweet sound of a flute coming from a slightly lower streets. Without saying anything, I went to that music. I was totally mesmerized by this great tune ...
And when I arrived, I met a boy, about ten years. He was playing the flute to made snakes dance. I couldn't believe it. But yes, it was a child.
I asked him if I could do it and he said yes. I stood there and blow into the flute. Nothing. The snakes were not moving. Why? I tried again two or three times but the snakes didn't move. I asked him how he did. And.. ladies and gentlemen ... Do you know what he answered to me?

"You play for snakes. I play for me."

I asked him how he could do it. And here, he told me:

"It's easy ... You close your eyes and imagine a better world."

I did. And snakes danced.
