"Action!". screamed the man as the "Supreme Star" made his stylish entry wearing sun-glasses. The crowd started clapping even before his performance started. He was so close to humans that they never referred him as a "monkey". He jumped, climbed ropes, frightened and amused children. Coins and currency notes were flying at him. After the show of 15 min, the crowd left talking about his eclat. His owner collected all the money and gifted him tasty bananas.  "Have everyone arrived?". The lion interrogated.
