I enjoy theme parks and the certain element of surprise you have if you don't look at any programs for the street entertainment. I like being surprised by spontaneous shows starting at the place I am. Do you like these street entertainments? Do you like walking through streets where you always experience something new and refreshing ? Do you like to take your kids to those places ? How do they act when they suddenly see a clown coming from behind a tree ? How they act when suddenly they see a talking lion coming in their direction ? What about flash mobs ? Or simply the theater next door starting a dance show at the street and taking the audience inside ? tell me your story, here is mine...
The family was walking down the boulevard. the street was wide and a lot of performers on the street. the Little Girl was excited, she had never seen such entertainment.
The little Girl could see a man juggling 3 balls in the air. The Little Girl could see a silver statue that each time somebody put a coin in a platter, the statue would start moving and thanking. The Little Girl could see a man with a monkey, and when the monkey moved the winch, the Little Girl could hear music. The Little Girl could see a man playing with swords, he was eating the sword, the complete entered his mouth.
Suddenly the music became louder, it sounded like the music from the cowboy movies. And ladies with beautiful dresses, with big round skirts, started dancing in the street. they gave their arms to other people on the street and suddenly there was a crowd of people holding arms and dancing with the legs.
The dancers took the crowd to the theater. Everybody started sitting as the dancer went up the stage. The Little Girl did not want to sit, she went with the ladies up the stage as well. The Little Girl danced with the lady dancers, and everybody in the crowd cheered.
The Little Girl was dancing, and everybody came from the street to see her dance. She danced, and danced, and danced, like she was one more star in the night sky. The lady dancers were also stars, but the Little Girl shined brighter. And everybody enjoyed, and in the end everybody clapped hands in joy.
Do you play board games with your kids ? Do you compete to win them or you let them win ? Is winning important ? Do you play until the end ? How fun is it to play ? Do they invent rules in the middle of the game ? You play with their silly rules or try to keep to the "official" rules ? Tell me your story, here is mine...
The Little Girl saw Jake grab a big gem right from under Captain's Hook pillow. Jake had nimble fingers and he managed to take out the gem without waking up Captain Hook. Captain Hook was sleeping in his hammock. It gave the feeling that the hammock would shake Captain Hook and make him wake up, but Jake's nimble fingers did the trick.
The Little Girl was excited, it was her turn to try and take a small chest from the top of the hammock. The exact same hammock Captain Hook was sleeping in. The Little Girl used Jake's sword to try and take the small chest. The Little Girl stretched her arm as long as she could with the sword tip almost reaching the small chest. The Little Girl approached a little more and could see the tip of the sword get into the small chest's hold.
The Little Girl was getting very nervous, she lift the sword slowly but the sword was not in a position to lift the small chest. the Little Girl placed the tip of the sword through the small chest's hold once more. The Little Girl stretched a little more her small arm and saw the tip get deeper through the small chest hold. Very calmly, very slowly the Little Girl lift the sword once more, and the tip of the sword was lifting the hold of the small chest. A little bit more of strength was needed to lift the small chest. The Little Girl made a big effort and lifted with strength the tip of the sword and the sword made an arc.
The Little Girl got nervous and reduced the strength.
"I Can't make it", cried the Little Girl.
All the friends encouraged her, Jake showed her a big big confident smile.
The Little Girl tried once more to lift the tip of the sword.
Gently, gently, the Little Girl stressed the sword and suddenly the sword straightened from it's arc and down came the small chest sliding by the hold down the sword.
"I made it, I made it!" shouted the Little Girl.
Captain Hook woke up, not because he got shook up on the hammock, but because the Little Girl woke him up with the victory shouts.
The party ended soon as Jake, the Little Girl and all the other boys from Neverland ran away from a furious Captain Hook.
Story based on Disney's game: "Who Shook Hook?"
