A Ticket to the Outside World

Every premiere demands an influx of eager patrons! I trotted briskly toward the front door, seeking an entrance worthy of the public. Right on the parquet floor near the doormat lay a glossy, folded card—a colorful takeout menu! Perfect! I tapped it sharply with my cane, pinned down one slippery corner, and wedged my tip under the fold. With an exuberant twist of my wrist, I popped the brochure wide open like a pop-up marquee! Splendid! An official guest list and promotional program all in one, perfectly positioned to herald the arrival of the outside masses!
