Danika and Nathan were interviewing the performing tropes. They searched for one who could perform for ten coins for the duration of the fair and still be of good quality. When the juggler dropped the apple, he was throwing in the air, and smiled sheepishly at them, they both screamed "Next" at the top of their lungs.
In came an old couple.
They carried a little finger puppet stage together. Danika looked to the man with suspicion. Grandpa Thinker was known for taking other forms, after all. But when the man smiled at her without any high and mighty look following, she relaxed.
"We can only perform with the finger puppets. Our bones are too old to juggle and prance around," the old woman said without moving her lips. But the finger puppet moved, and Danika was impressed.
"We are sorry, but we need performers who can entertain a crowd. Not just children," Nathan said, looking through the names left on their list.
