`` Say , maybe my Pa do n't know where to take folks at the exhibition . There 's mighty little we did n't see , I 'm tellin ' you ; and chirpin ' all the while Pa was too . He 's better than a minstrel show to go anywhere with , my Pa is ; he 'd make even you laugh , Lucien . Well , anyway , along about four o'clock Pa thinks we 'd better see oner two of the shows in the midway , so 's we can get another meal in good time to see the night doings in fronter the grand stand . So , us to the midway , and we ai n't more than half in when we runs across the wild beast show . There 's a cage on the platform in front of the show , with a pretty fierce lookin ' lion in it , and the spieler he 's telling the folks how this lion has eaten four or five people , and he ai n't never been sub-dued . ` But , ' he says , ` Seenor ' r Dan-rell-o will go into his cage at every performance , ' he says , ` at the peril of his life .
