Girl: Kebabs?
Acrobat: Yes, the belly dancers were eating lunch a little while ago. Maybe they have seen your dog.
Girl: Ok. Thanks! Which way do I go to find them?
Acrobat: Go left, then turn right past the 4th row (la acrobata le dirije hacia el publico con una serie de

Belly dancer: Ah of course. Yes, I see, you know how to dance flamenco.
Girl: Yes I love flamenco. Flamenco is the best dance!
Belly Dancer: Do you know other dances too?
Girl: No. Only flamenco. I dont like other dances.
Belly dancer: How do you know that you dont like them if you have never tried. Actually, my dance is not so
different from yours. Look: (le muestra un trozo de coreografa con movimiento de manos.
Girl: Oh, yes, I do that too. (empiezan a bailar juntas)
Belly Dancer: Oh you are quite a good dancer. Do you want me to show you how to dance with your belly?

Belly dancer: Look. (le ensea cmo mover el vientre al ritmo)
Girl: Wow! How did you do that!
Belly Dancer: I can teach you. Here, take this coin skirt. (le da una falda de monedas)
Girl: You put this on to dance? It makes so much noise!
Belly Dancer: Yes, but if you know how to move it, you can make music, too.
(La nia salta con la falda de monedas, haciendo mucho ruido)
Belly Dancer: Look, like this. (le muestra cmo hacer ritmo con la falda)
Girl: Oh, cool! I never knew another dance could be so fun! (se acuerda de que no estaba alli para aprender a
bailar) Oh no, I forgot about Lucky. I must find him before it gets dark.
Belly Dancer: Yes, you should. Soon the circus will open its doors and there will be hundreds of people coming
inside.
Girl: Oh no, poor Lucky. Where could he be?
Belly Dancer: Maybe he heard all the animals in the tent and went to find them?
Girl: Oh no, poor Lucky. He must be so scared.
Belly Dancer: Why dont you go find our animal trainer. Maybe he knows where your dog is.
Girl: Yes, thats a great idea. (empieza a irse, y se da cuenta que lleva la falda de monedas puesta y se la
empieza a quitar para devolversela)
Belly Dancer: No, you can have it. But promise me that you will show your firends what I have taught you.
Girl: Oh thank you so much. I will. I will! Goodbye! (se va bailando, otra vez preguntando al publico cosas para
encontrar a su perro)
Scene 3
Sonidos de animales de fondo y un sonido fuerte del gruido de un leon asusta a la nia.
Girl: AHHHHHHAAHHH!
Lion Tamer: Shhhh, dont scare the lion, its very dangerous.
Girl: (escondiendose detras de algo) wheres the lion? Please tell me he isnt here.
Lion Tamer: Oh, hes over there, but dont worry, he is inside his cage, I was just kidding.
Girl: Oh... (no se atreve a salir de su escondite)
Lion tamer: are you alright? What are you doing here alone?
Girl. Ive lost my dog
Lion Tamer: What does your dog look like?
Girl: He is small, and white with black spots, and he has a red collar ... and the belly dancer told me to come ask
you.
Lion Tamer: (he laughs) Oh yes, of course, I am the King of the Jungle! (dando un latigazo en el suelo) but i
havent seen him so far ...
Girl; Oh, dont hit me please! I just want to find my dog!
Lion Tamer: (riendose una vez mas) No, no, no. Dont worry, I just use it to make big sounds. I dont hit
anyone. Do you want to try it?
Girl: Yes ... but ... (tmida se empieza a acercar al domador)
Lion Tamer: What's wrong? Why are you still scared?
Girl: Well ... no, I am just curious ... Have you been in the sun a lot with the animals and that is why you are so
dark?
Lion Tamer: (Se echa a reir) HAHAHAHAHAHA noooo !!! How can you think that?
Girl: My mom does not want me in the sun. She says I can get burnt ...
Lion Tamer: Well, you'r are right... sun is bad if you stay a long time outside, but look! This is my color! In my
country most of the people have black skin ... Didn't you know?
Girl: Really ?? Are you serious? Where are you from? I have never seen someone like you !!!
Lion Tamer: You probably havent travelled much, but i am from the Congo. It is a country in Africa, Have you
not been there ?
Girl: I dont like travelling ... my town is nice too ...
Lion Tamer: Yes, but if you dont travel, you cant learn new things, like this trick !! (El domador le da el ltigo a
la nia)
Girl: Oh, dear, its quite long.
Lion Tamer: Wave it around a bit and smack it down.
La nia empiea a mover ell latigo como una loca espantando al domador)
Lion Tamer: Wait wait, no so fast! (se acerca para ensearle) Like this.
Le muestra las comandas que tiene con los animales y el latigo.
If you use it once like so, (da uno hacia el suelo) de lions roar. (se escucha a los leones)
If you use it twice, like so, the monkeys shout. (se escucha a los monos)
And If you use it three times, like this, that means its time to eat. (le muestra como lo hace y se escucha el
ladrido de un perro)
Girl: Lucky! I heard him bark! Thats my dog. Where is it coming from?
Lion Tamer: Oh, it sounds like he must be near the food. I can go take a look. Wait here.
(el domador va a buscar detrs del escenario y se oyen ruidos estraos de animales y vuelve con su perrito)
Girl: Lucky! Youre safe! I was worried about you. You shouldnt run off like that!
Lion Tamer: Your dog seems to be truly lucky like his name says because he was with the lion food and almost
became food himself.
Girl: Oh, thank you so much for rescuing him! I was so worried!
Lion Tamer: You are welcome. Well, I must go prepare the animals for the opening act.
Girl: I never knew how much fun different cultures could be!
