"Step right up, step right up!" the man in the straw hat hollered, so Mogey and Smush stepped up. They knew the unwritten law of the fairground: woe is he who does not follow the instructions of a man in a straw hat.
"Step right up," the man repeated. "Come and see Honkman, the miraculous talking duck - only two silver pennies. I personally guarantee he talks or your money back."
Mogey and Smush immediately forked over the cash and proceeded behind the curtain where a white duck stood looking at what appeared to be an extremely short sheet music stand. The two pals stared at Honkman expectantly.
"Ahem..." Honkman said, clearing his throat and glancing back down at his lines. "Quack."
"How cool was that?" Mogey whispered sharply to Smush as they hustled out of the little room.
"I know!" Smush replied. "Should we get back in line and go again?"
