A chance to show his words arrived just when a circus (马戏团) came to the town. The musician came to the ringmaster (领班) and told what he could do.

“Wow, that’s interesting.” The ringmaster said. “We just have three new lions and they haven’t worked with the lion tamer (驯兽师) yet. Let’s see what you can do with them.” The violinist agreed and the whole town crowded the hall to see what would happen.

The violinist was standing quietly in the center of the ring with a smile. Then the ringmaster opened the door of the cage (笼子) and jumped out angrily a huge lion, shouting and showing his teeth. Everyone was too nervous to breathe.
