[t-] Tarzan is in the [4] bathroom of the [-a] auditorium where he is changing into a costume for the play. He puts on two 足 wooden legs and covers his entire half-naked body with 羽 feathers. He is supposed to be half-man and half amputated bird. As he steps out of the stall and heads towards the bathroom door, he 蹋 steps on a 日 sun that is in the bathroom for some reason. He trips and falls, causing his 足 wooden legs and 羽 feathers to go all over the bathroom, which the other audience members all accidentally 蹋 step on as well. Oh no!
