There was once a king

"There was once a king who had a great flea. The king treated him well, better than family. The king ordered a tailor, 'Listen to me, slave! Sew a big dragon robe for my friend here. 'The flea put on his dragon robe and was covered with golden light. He jumped up and down inside and outside the palace with great dignity..." This famous "Flea Song", from the German great poet Goethe, by the Russian master Mussorgsky composed music, widely spread in the world. Nowadays, the Song of the Flea is often heard in the sparse city. It was half a month ago that a circus came to town. To tell the truth, this circus is very, very strange. There is only one person in all. He is head of the circus, deputy head of the circus, coach, music director, stage manager, lead singer, keeper, accountant, and so on. As for the performers of this circus, it is also very, very strange. Usually, all the performers and props can be contained in a box smaller than a cigarette lighter, which is called "miniature circus". Who are the performers in this "miniature circus"? Hey, you can't believe it. Actors are fleas! The miniature circus, or flea circus. The head of the team, Mr. Bouncy, is the world's unique and unprecedented flea master. He was thin and long, like a shrivelled loofah, but with large eyes that glowed like sapphires. He had a small thick black beard under his nose. The show of "Circus Miniature" is wonderful. Before each performance, Mr. Bouncy sang "The Flea Song" in a standard bass voice. After singing, to the enthusiastic applause of the audience, Mr. Bouncy began to direct the actors. However, the actors were too small to perform on a stage the size of a cigarette pack. Mr. Jumping kept humming strange music in his mouth, and the fleas jumped on the wooden horse as small as sesame seeds, shaking with the rhythm of the music, very interesting! The fleas also hold the spider silk thread and swing back and forth. The most interesting thing is that Mr. Jumping carefully made a "rickshaw" which is only half as small as a grain of rice. One flea jumps on the car, and another flea pulls the car and circles on the small stage! Since he came to the city of Lili, Mr. Bouncy has become very popular. The reporter of the Hubbub Daily interviewed Mr. Hubbub and ran a long story. The report made a sensation throughout the city. However, Mr. Bouncy refused to allow the photos of the "miniature circus" to be published, as did the request from the city's best-looking film studio, the Best-Looking TV Station. In order to be able to witness the small size of the performers and stage, no more than three people will be present at each event -- three heads occupying three sides of the small stage, and the other side, the head of Mr. Bouncy. Mr. Bouncy was very busy, going from house to house to play to the great people in the city. Unfortunately, Mr. Bouncy claimed that the little actors tired too easily and could only do one show a day. When it was over, Mr. Bouncy held out his hand and asked the little actors to jump on his arms and let them drink as much as they liked. It is said that this is to congratulate the young actors for their successful performances. At this time, the audience with great surprise, staring at the jumping Mr. Arm while walking, while sucking blood small actors...
