One story is about a magician. He was working on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week, so the magician did the same tricks over and over again.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, 'Look, it's not the same hat!', 'Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table!'. The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot.
