Dressed up as jugglers the owls felt sure. That the carnival prize would be theirs to secure. "Magic tricks in this costume will be such a sight. As we make our debut in the cover of night!"



In front of the mirror, strutting both ends. Was the peacock and the pheasant with few friends. "With frills, veils and ribbons, all will be fooled. The prize will be ours, maybe gold or jeweled !




The animals gathered on the carnival grounds, performing in costume to musical sounds. The knights in fine armor pretended a contest, where the tournament victor bit on his chest. "Come dance valiant knight" joined foxy domino "For someone so gallant you move like a rhino." And you are a fox, it is plain to see. Your costume does not hide your identity.





The animals all started to hoot and to holler, and feeling disguised, defied law and order. To each they mocked their costumes berated, as the character of everyone was exaggerated. Amid all this chaos there came a loud roar, which startled the animals right to the core. While most of them ran to the left and the right, the rabbits all huddled together in fright.


"Attention my loyal and delicious subjects! The tigress and I think someone forgets.
To disguise who you are you must be the opposite. In our royal opinion you all need to learn it. Let's continue to party, no costumes and cover! Enjoy yourselves, have respect for each other! "Such foolish behavior we never did see. You all have failed to recognize authority."
