On Monday, we watched a ted talk called The Journey Across the High Wire: Philippe Petit. He was a world famous tight-rope walker. He stretched a steel cable without permission between the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. He's a street juggler, writes, draws, performs close-up magic, practices lock-picking and 18th-century timber framing, plays chess, studies French wine, gives lectures and workshops on creativity and motivation, and was recently sighted bullfighting in Peru. He performed in front of a magician and he turned him down. So, he went with juggling. A man sold him juggling pins. He performed in front of a famous juggler and the juggler said that the pins he was juggling were impossible to juggle. So, again for the second time he turned to tight-rope walking. When he first started tight-rope walking, he found two trees, and he got rope and put around the trees until three was n’t anymore rope left. He created the widest tight rope in the world! He got some enorumous shoes and he started getting on the tight rope. In a few days he crossed the ropes once and he cut off a rope. E kept on cutting a rope each time he crossed, until there was one rope left. He never gave up.
