The children's crying attracted the attention of the people nearby and Li Du became helpless. He put down Ah Meow, then turned to nod at Ah Ow before saying, "Come on, let's put on a little show."
He took out a piece of beef jerky and threw it with a flick of his wrist. Ah Ow leaped up and caught it neatly with her mouth.
The children were still crying, so Li Du could only throw another piece. Before Ah Ow could jump again, Ah Meow was one step ahead and leaped up at a startling height to snatch some candied fruit. Li Du kept tossing and tossing, throwing the snacks slightly further up this time, but Ah Ow could not jump high enough. When it jumped, Ah Meow sprung into action as well, first jumping onto her back, then using the momentum to make a second jump and opening its mouth to catch the snack just as it began to fall.
