A large arch in the centre gives
space for two animal cages. In one is a
lion; in the other are two chimpanzees
holding on to the bars and looking out
over the audience. He is surprised to hear
a voice; more so when discovering one of
the monkeys is articulating. On occasion during the talk
the other monkey rocks himself to and fro
with laughter. Now and then the lion rises
on his haunches and talks or roars.
