TaleSpin: The Cloudkicker Trio's Kit and Jeffery's Tips.

Copying Others Can Be Dangerous

A group of children were gathered together at the park, Kit and Jeffery went to investigate and found that the kids were preparing to perform the Saw-in-Half trick, except that it was not a trick and they knew that the saw would cut through the kid…for real.

"Wait," Kit shouted at them, dashing forward and seizing the saw out of the would-be-magician's hand. "What were you doing?! You could've sliced him!" he told the kid magician in a higher voice than usual.

The kid magician kicked his foot against the floor of his stage, looking sad and ashamed.

"I-I just wanted to do the trick, like you two did at the magic show…" he mumbled.

"But you don't just do something like that without learning the trick to it first," Jeffery told him kindly with a hand on the kid's shoulder. "Copying people can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing and you could end up hurting yourself or other people."

"Gosh, I'm sorry." The kid said, looking ashamed but then it turned into an eager face. "Can you show us how it's done?"

"Uh, sure…" Kit said.

He and Jeffery got out their box and Kit slid into it,

"Now, the trick is simple." Jeffery told them, he opened the lid of the box to show them that one half of the box contains Kit's whole body in it with his legs folded, his knees were up to his chest, while the other half of the box was empty except for a pair of fake legs, identical to Kit's. "When Kit gets into the box, I'll appear to be helping him in, while in reality I'm really putting the fake legs through the holes in the box. And so when I saw through the gap between the two boxes, it makes it looks like I'm sawing him in half, but in reality he's still whole and safe."

"Oh my gosh!" gasped the kid, he turned to his friend and hugged him fiercely. "I'm so sorry, buddy, I could've hurt you very bad."

"Remember, don't mimic or copy someone unless you know how to do it." Kit said as he climbed out of the box.

"Yeah, learn what to do first from someone with more experience before you start doing it yourself." Jeffery said.

"Copying people is dangerous if I don't know what I'm doing first. Now I know better!" the kid said as he walked away.

Kit and Jeffery grinned and winked at the audience.
