“A little up on the left,” shouted the man. “That’s good. This new sign should really draw in the crowds. Everyone will want to see the amazing Ali Up!”

“That’s him,” said Slum.

“Why is he talking about himself like he’s somebody else?” asked Bruce.

“Sounds like he has a high opinion of himself,” said Chuck.

“It is often the way with humans lacking in actual height,” Smo observed.

“It’s lucky that’s not true of the animal kingdom, or we’d have an army of dormice set on taking over the world,” said Slum. “Anyway, as much fun as it’s been hanging out with you, I must be off. I don’t want to miss out on this afternoon’s tour buses.”

“Thank you for your help,” said Chuck.

“Anytime,” Slum replied, with a wag of his tail. “See ya!”

As Slumdoggy Dog headed off, Chuck led the way around the side of the theater to a back door.

“Bruce and I will go inside and try to find out whether Ali Up still has the emerald. Smo, would you wait here in case the others arrive?”

“Of course,” the llama replied.

Chuck and Bruce slipped through the door into the building. They made their way along the corridor to some steps that led to the side of the stage. Red cloth curtains with gold piping hung down from the ceiling and the whole stage was full of mirrors. Bruce looked at his reflection.

“Hey, look, Chuck, there are loads of me.”

“After all that curry, there is indeed a lot of you,” said Chuck, who was examining a plain red wardrobe in the center of the stage. “Ah, a vanishing box.”
