There's something about children's laughter that just makes you feel good.
I can't help but smile in response when I hear children giggling so I had a permanent grin in the Spiegeltent on Saturday during the performance of Guji Guji. Oh except when the bad crocodiles made an appearance.
It was a delightfully simple tale of a strange egg ending up in a duck's nest. When the eggs hatch mother duck finds she has not three babies but four, with one being very different.
That's what the story is about, being different, bullying (from the bad crocodiles) and what a huge difference family love makes.
