The budget was reasonable until I reached the line for transporting a lake.

“Swan Lake,” the gorilla explained in his response to Reviewer Two. “We did try rehearsing Swan Puddle. The swans have a union.”

Two gorillas in white and gold perform a Swan Lake duet against a moonlit backdrop.

The Dutch contingent requested ten pairs of wooden shoes and one replacement floor. The Irish tamarins had costed the same floor under percussion. I admired the economy and struck it from the budget twice.

For the stop in Russia, the geladas had budgeted three minutes for Tsyganochka and two nights in a hotel. I queried the second night. The violinist sent me a recording of the audience asking for an encore. I approved breakfast as well.

Then I opened the Monkey Dance World Tour on dr.rheumaview.com to check what, exactly, we were funding. Each of the ten short films has travel notes and three rheumatology questions anyone can try. Clinicians can take two extra questions per stop. I took both. The next reviewer may want to bring lunch.

You can play the multilingual tour in English, Russian, Spanish or Polish right here. Choose a language inside the game and enlarge it for a better view of the footwork.

My recommendation is to fund the tour. I have attached my passport as evidence of fieldwork. Please disregard the bronze stamp. I was distracted by an itemised invoice from a swan.
