My Circus Career
When I was younger I spent some time working at the circus.
My act was a daring one.
I used to have to jump off a platform thirty feet off the ground and land in a small tank of water.
Of course the circus audience are a demanding crowd always expecting acts to be more death defying and the ring master told me that I needed to jump from a higher platform and decrease the size of the water tank to be more exciting.
It went on like that every season till in the end I was diving off a platform one hundred feet off the ground into a damp teatowel.
