A Child's Courage

This 3-year-old child walked up to the stage and satisfied his curiousity with a magician. Although he could not express himself in words, action, they say, speaks louder. The courageous boy seems to be saying, "I know your trick so don't fool me". The audience could not believe their eyes as they laughed and admired him. It was during a Christmas Festival held for children at the famous BM Dunapalota in Budapest on December 21.
