Wow!!!
When the tiger jumped through the fire ring, there was a cry of surprise from the audience.
Then, applause echoed.
While clapping, Toyama Kazuha poked Hattori Heiji's right ribs with her elbow:
"Heiji Heiji, did you see that?!"
"That tiger really got through!"
Hattori Heiji leaned to the left, feeling the pain between his ribs, and said unhappily:
“I must have seen it!”
Yuanshan Heye moved her hips, not minding the alienation of her childhood sweetheart:
"Wow, they changed to a smaller fire ring!"
On the stage, the sturdy animal trainer used a fire extinguisher to put out the flame on the iron ring, put on gloves to remove it, and with the help of his assistant, replaced it with an obviously smaller iron ring.
In order to demonstrate the difficulty of the challenge, he even held an unlit iron ring and let the tiger with shiny fur go through it first.
Without the flame, the iron ring was just an ordinary toy for the tiger. Its broad paws tapped the stage lightly, and the lines of its muscles were clearly visible. The tiger crawled through the narrow iron ring, which was almost as wide as its waist.
This is undoubtedly a severe challenge.
The trainer took a deep breath and lit the oilcloth wrapped around the iron ring.
What humans can do is certainly astounding, but it is not as eye-catching as the cleverness and intelligence of animals.
This is the main attraction of their circus and there is no room for failure!
After the iron ring was ignited, the tiger's ears stood up, like a cat that sensed danger, the shape of the flame was reflected in its pupils, and it looked a little anxious.
The trainer quickly stroked its back, then squatted down and hugged the tiger's neck.
Although he had a whip in his hand, the trainer had never whipped the tiger he had raised since childhood.
Sunshine Circus has been established for 10 years, and the members and animals have not changed.
The trainer trusted his companion so much that he even ate and lived with the tiger for a full 10 years.
Under his touch, the anxious tiger gradually calmed down and it understood what the trainer meant.
Very spiritual animals understand some of the rules of human beings.
For example, the sound of the owner opening a can will attract the cat at home to act cute and ask for food...
For a tiger, the audience's applause represents its food supply for the next period of time.
The louder the applause, the better it eats.
Maybe we can even add some extra food.
The tiger arched its body, with its abdomen pressed against the ground and its buttocks raised high, staring at the blazing circle of fire, like a sharp arrow ready to be shot.
"superior!"
At the trainer's command, the tiger leaped out and approached the fire ring with its running owner.
Not far from the fire circle, Captain Haneda was holding a fire extinguisher, ready at all times.
If the performance failed, he would rush out and put out the flames on the tiger with a fire extinguisher.
The audience was sweating, straightening their backs unconsciously, and not daring to blink, for fear of missing the wonderful moment.
When the tiger was one meter away from the fire circle, it jumped!
With his agile body, he passed through the fire ring accurately and landed steadily!
"roar!!!"
Amid the deafening applause, the tiger roared to the sky, as if thinking about what to eat tonight.
Captain Haneda, who was watching from the backstage, breathed a sigh of relief and put down the fire extinguisher.
The most dangerous phase has passed.
It's time for him to prepare for the next tightrope walk.
"Is there any audience friend who wants to get up close and personal with Iwao?"
The trainer looked around the audience with a smile and asked his assistant to bring an elderly dog onto the stage.
This is one of the inherent programs of their circus.
With the popularity of various entertainment programs, circuses are not as popular as they were a few years ago.
In order to attract more audiences, Headmaster Haneda decided to abandon his previous business philosophy and focus on interacting with the audience.
Close contact with a tiger is something that many city dwellers will never experience in their lifetime.
Even more exciting than a roller coaster...
Before the performance, they had fed the tigers well to prevent them from being hungry and hurting people.
Of course, having just one layer of insurance is not enough.
The dog that the assistant leads onto the stage is the most important part.
As soon as the tiger saw the old dog, it stopped roaring, slid up to the dog and nudged it with its nose.
"Its name is Bandai, and it is Iwao's mother..."
The trainer took out a snack and put it next to the tiger's mouth. The tiger took the snack and turned around and put it in front of the dog.
"Iwao grew up drinking Bandai's milk. As long as Bandai is around, he is very docile."
"Besides, Yan Nan has been living with humans for a long time, and his wild nature has been smoothed out."
The animal trainer clapped his hands and asked:
"Is there any brave audience member willing to come up and touch the rock man?"
In the audience, everyone looked at each other and no one dared to say a word.
A close encounter with a tiger?
No kidding...
It is true that success is exciting, but what if you fail?
That thing...
One slap and you’ll be dead!
Seeing this, the trainer smiled.
He expected that the audience would not dare to go on stage.
In order to keep the show going, circus members would pretend to be audience members, sit in the seats, and wait for his name to be called.
This is called interaction.
It is also the safest and most secure method.
"If no one says anything, I'll call your name..."
The trainer raised his hand and was about to point at the circus members pretending to be the audience when...
"I! I! I!"
