There are more career opportunities here than you could ever imagine.
What is your dream? Dare to follow it. Living in Paris takes some juggling, but
it can be done. The secret, which most Parisians know, is to keep your fish
afloat on top of your head.
You don’t believe me? Just take a look.
Out on Pont Saint-Louis, the most popular busking bridge, a minute’s
walk to Notre Dame.
Tips for busking: set your tip-hat in a special, easy-to-see spot.
Have plenty of water to drink, with extra for the fish. Dress outrageously!
Some passersby try really, really hard to be too cool to notice the
smiling orange man with his matching goldfish.
This is hard work. The fish gets tired of all that sloshing around,
and fight-or-flight adrenaline rushing through its delicate system. It would
much prefer to be loafing in the shadowy waters under the bridge. You owe it to
the fish to pay attention. Workers deserve their reward. Parisians have rioted
over lesser injustices.
The Juggler is available for parties (as long as the fish receives
compensation). Only 6 euros per hour plus roundtrip transportation from Paris
(more if the fish doesn’t survive the trip)!
