My big performance

I was behind the curtain. My turn was yet to come. My role was that of a wizard, the wizard of great America in 2900 BC.

I had to dance and sing with a group of ten.

The curtain rose, I stepped forward. There I stood five feet above the ground frozen.

The other nine encouraged me.

I felt a surge of confidence in me and there I was singing as loud as I can, waltzing away.

My big performance was a success.

All thanks to my fellow wizards!
