The brothers bowed again and again, Stanley’s balloon bobbing up and down. Arthur’s smile was plain to see, and Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop, as they applauded, thought that even the balloon’s painted smile seemed brighter than before.

“I have two children myself,” said the lady behind them. “Both entirely visible and without theatrical flair. We are a very usual family.”

“As are we,” said Mr. Lambchop, smiling. “Mostly, that is.”

Arthur left the stage, and Stanley sat on the sofa between the sausage writer and the beauty-contest winner and answered Teddy Talker’s questions. He had no idea how he became invisible, he said, and it wasn’t actually a great treat being that way, since he often got bumped into and had to keep reminding people he was there. After that, Teddy Talker thanked everyone for coming, and the show was over.

Back home, Arthur felt the evening had gone well.

“I got lots of applause,” he said. “But maybe it was mostly because of what Stanley did. I shouldn’t be too proud, I guess.”

“Poise and good humor contribute greatly to a performer’s success,” said Mrs. Lambchop. “You did well on both those counts. Return Henry in the morning, dear. Time now for bed.”
