Premise: The boys had been up very early to prepare the show , and when it was ready enjoyed it hugely , for the fresh wind made the pennons cut strange capers .<br>The winged lion of Venice looked as if trying to fly away home ; the Chinese dragon appeared to brandish his forked tail as he clawed at the Burmese peacock ; the double-headed eagle of Russia pecked at the Turkish crescent with one beak , while the other seemed to be screaming to the English royal beast , `` Come on and lend a paw . ''
Hypothesis: The boys awoke before 6:00AM to prepare for the show.
