John stared at the tuna fish. He stood up, having no recollection of his hypnotized actions. He believed that he had acted normally, and that he had eaten the tuna fish like a human being. Still, he was confused by the laughter coming from the crowds.
"Well, John, how are you enjoying the circus?"
"You guys have really good food." John said, somewhat confused.
"Oh I know, it makes some people just dive on in!" The crowd laughed at Mesmero's joke.
The bewildered father was so confused at the laughter.
"I'm glad you enjoyed your lunch. You're free to go."
John decided to hightail it out of there. He wasn't sure why they were laughing, but he didn't like it.
