In ... evening, when ... curtain rose and ... storm broke out, ... audience greeted it with ... applause. ... boys managed their work well, ... scene always made ... impression on ... audience and each of ... boys was paid ... shilling ... night. But when ... performance had had a few weeks’ run, ... owner of ... theatre thought that it was too much and that sixpence ... night would be quite enough. Then ... boys decided to play ... trick on him, so when ... time came for ... storm, ... wind began blowing, but ... sea was as calm as ever, there were no waves on it. ... owner was very angry and shouted from behind ... curtains, “Make ... waves, ... boys, make ... waves.” But ... boys wouldn’t jump.
