Long, long ago, in a remote jungle of the Amazon, two colourful toucans lived. They both had the same passion, singing. They loved to sing, and they did it very well. Their dream was to travel around the world and to be great singers known worldwide.
Every morning, the animals were coming around them to listen to their songs. A sunny spring day, a circus arrived at the place. All the animals made a circle around the beautiful big top. A monkey came out from the inside.
“Greetings, my dear friends, we’re ‘THE MOON CIRCUS’ and we come looking for great artists to join us in our tour round America,” presented himself loudly.
There was a racket in the jungle until the monkey said:
“I’ll give you a day to think about it.”
Up in the tree, the toucans had a discussion.
“I think we could go,” Kaythun exclaimed enthusiastically.
“I’m not going to waste my voice in a circus, I want to be famous, not to make people laugh, declared Isseyon.
“Well, think about it, it is the opportunity of our lives,” replied Kaythun.
“Sure there will be more opportunities and better ones,” added Isseyon.
“Do not trust,” advised Kaythun wisely.
The next day, Kaythun went to the circus and Isseyon went to give his farewells, while he thought “I’ll find something better where my voice will be truly rewarded.”
Years and years later, the jungle continued as it was, until one day news of Kaythun came; he had become a famous and well-known singer. Since that day all the Isseyon songs said:
“Opportunity seldom knocks twice.”
