[00:13.56]Lesson 74
[00:15.92]Out of the limelight
[00:19.60]An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed
[00:23.38]and a party of famous actors and actresses got off.
[00:28.31]Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes,
[00:31.76]they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.
[00:37.89]But as they soon discovered,disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
[00:44.98]'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,'said Gloria Gleam.
[00:49.81]'It couldn't be better,Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed
[00:54.23]'No newspaper men,no film fans!Why don't we come more often?'
[01:01.58]Meanwhile,two other actors Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves,
[01:07.76]had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees.
[01:14.60]When they had all made themselves comfortable,a stranger appeared.
[01:19.72]He looked very angry 'Now you get out of here,all of you!' he shouted.
[01:26.41]'I'm sheriff here.Do you see that notice?
[01:30.36]It says "No Camping" --in case you can't read!'
[01:35.44]'Look,sheriff,' said Rockwall,
[01:37.96]'don't be too hard on us.I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.'
[01:44.17]'Oh,is it?'said the sheriff with a sneer "
[01:47.72]'Well,I'm Brinksley Meers,and my other name is Gloria Gleam
[01:53.29]Now you get out of here fast!'
 

Why was their disguise 'too perfect'?
