第二节
After a terribly long moment of silence, Judy sat up, faced the confused audience, and smiled as she continued her speech.
A poster reading”Carrot Days Talent Show” hung over the astonished crowd.
“Back then, the world was divided in two: deadly predator or defenseless prey.
Two cardboard boxes dropped down from the roof.
The first, labeled deadly predator in crayon, landed on top of the jaguar, and the second, labeled defenseless prey, landed on Judy.
The boxes settled on their shoulders so their heads, arms, and legs stuck out.
“But over time, we evolved, and moved beyond our ancient, savage ways.”
A young sheep wearing a white gown and a cardboard rain bow on his head did an unprepared dance across the stage.
