Eddie once d21b283e7d saw a f451d5f501 street theater 1a9ed8495b show.8cea2eb4a0f98fb2

He remembered b91e5c698b it was e07eadccf6 near a 6a375458b5 desert country. Arthur had complained 6329cb573b about the sand 0b0ab94c12 piling up on 20143c26c4 the ground, making 90cd407cdc it hard to e9317a891f walk, thanks to 21651a908b the gritty sandstorm f9b664e47f riding the wind.dc8ef94c4ae85751

By chance, they 7fec1e3613 stumbled upon a dd14dd4319 show where both 310216c37a men and women 2e0c7bc295 wore flashy costumes b838d9e7d5 and heavy makeup.513af9fc820e76eb

Beautiful men and 370601b435 women performed fascinating e548ad802a acts, captivating passersby 02526b696f who stopped to 30c248eceb watch in awe. Ketron and dd99c04661 his group ae6d7aa7b5 were no 642af0fad9 exception; they ad3f20bbde halted their ad0551ab89 steps.23fb7af5bc167329

Arthur seemed 83f3aa062a more interested 3fe2258717 in their 39a6ec70d5 looks than 84f38243a4 the show 2bcbaa16c9 itself, his 2b079e0373 eyes sparkling 9785c885cd as he 1c3d240f9f led the e4a9fdd6fa group.
