I believe the correct answer is: The narrator's superior pigs and his demand that the villagers pay for the damage done to his pigs creates tension between the narrator and the villagers.
 
     In this excerpt from the story “In a Native Village” from the “Ridan the Devil and the other stories”, written by Louis Becke, main conflict begins with narrator’s conviction that his pigs are superior and had done no wrong to other villagers when they escape from his property: 
“Next morning the seven piglets were returned one by one by various native children. Each piglet had, according to their accounts, been in a separate garden, and done considerable damage… I gave each lying child a quarter-dollar.”
     Their next escape resulted in losing their tails while confronting the other pigs, for with the narrator demanded a considerable payment as he regarded this as their escape from the “cruel death”. This situation cumulated the tension between the villagers and the narrator and resulted in their fraud and narrator shooting his own pig.


    Therefore, I would say that the narrator advances the plot of the story with his demand that the villagers pay for the damage done to his superior pigs, which creates tension between the narrator and the villagers.

Kiko is always turning handsprings and cartwheels, and she makes people laugh until their
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

<em>She could be in many more circus performances if she'd learn when to stop clowning around.</em>

This is the sentence that contains the pun.

What best explains the pun here is that Kiko is a circus act at a circus show but she does not know when to be serious as she gets so silly during rehearsals.

The show directors believe she would be in more circus performances if she would learn when to stop clowning around.

The pun here is clowning around.

Explanation:

A pun is a play on words. It is a literary device that has two different meanings.

From the answer above, a clown is someone that makes people laugh through making funny faces and jesting. A clown is usually found in a circus.

Kiko works in a circus and because of her playful nature, she doesnt appear in a lot of circus performances.
