"Magnifico-dude is... he is... he is heehaw! Eehaw! EEEhaw!" Steve feels a strange sensation in his throat, and his speech is now just the raucous brays of a
donkey, but he doesn't seem to notice, or to care. El Magnifico turns to the audience with a haughty look of self-assurance, and turning back to Steve, continues to
swing the carrot. The audience gives light applause in appreciation.
"Yesssss," El Magnifico half-speaks, half-sighs. "Carrots. You LOVE carrots, don't you, my friend?" You know differently; back at home, Steve's interest in
vegetables stops at french fries and catsup. But Steve looks very intently interested in this carrot.
"You know who else likes carrots, my friend? Donkeys like carrots. You could have this carrot if you were a donkey, my friend. Would you like to be my donkey,
my friend?" Steve dreamily licks his lips as he eyes the carrot, which looks like the most delicious meal he has had in his life. He nods.
"Very well then!" El Magnifico cries in triumph, and turns to the audience. "You are my witness, my friends," he says to the audience. "I asked for a volunteer, and
my friend here volunteered. I asked him if he would become a donkey in exchange for this carrot and he agreed." He turns back to Steve with the carrot. "Very
well, then," he says. "I accept you as my donkey. Take this carrot, and you seal our deal." He holds the carrot out to Steve.
