Then
they go to the next town.
There are not many animals in the circus. People told the circus that they didn't like seeing animals
performing. There is an elephant called Jacob and two old lions, Hattie and Meg.
Most of the performers are human! There is Leopold, The Strongest Man In The World. His father
also worked in the circus, but Leopold is stronger than him, he has bigger arms and bigger legs
too! Leopold performs his act every night for the town's people who come to watch.
Another performer is Clara. She says she has the longest hair in the world. It's about 4 metres
long! She also has a daughter who works in the circus. Her name is Sue-Ellen. Her hair is a lot
shorter, but she wants to grow it as long as her mother's. Sue-Ellen helps look after the animals
and she's also learning how to juggle.
The highlight of the circus are the three clowns, Pit, Pot and Pat. They all wear long red shoes, but
Pat's shoes are the longest and sometimes, he falls over because they're so long! They perform for
about twenty minutes and they are always the most popular act with the audience, especially the
children. Many people think Pit, Pot and Pat are three brothers, but Pat is older than the other two he's their father! He's the oldest clown in the country, but he has a lot of energy.
Tomorrow will be the longest day because the circus is leaving town and everything must be packed
away into big trucks.
