The Wonder's mother sold her to a baker, who used her as entertainment for children's birthday parties. He would place her in cakes and she would pop out and surprise the children. The Wonder hated the job; besides the generally demeaning conceit of it, she's claustrophobic, and she constantly feared being sliced by the clumsy children whom the baker would allow to cut into the cake. One day, the Wonder broke out of the cake and ran across the table, into the arms of one of the partygoers. The girl took pity on the Wonder and shamed the baker for abusing her. Then, the girl's family adopted the Wonder and raised her as their own.

Abyssinia's act consists of playing piano for the tigers, and her tigers pair off and waltz. In their new act, Mignon sings for the tigers while the Princess plays.
