He had always dreamed of seeing the lions, elephants and clowns. Now the time had finally come, and he/she was going to see, that in the town of home town and state, child's first name dreams can become a reality. "Welcome children, young and old, to the greatest show around; to the place where animals, magic and entertainment can be found. Step right up and take your seat, inside the tent so grand," a friendly clown said to child's first name and his/her friends at the ticket stand. Friends’ or family members’ names were waiting to sit in their place. Suddenly a clown rushed out with a worried look on her face. "One of our clowns isn’t feeling well!" she said. "I’m afraid he can’t do the show. Would child's first name be willing to take his place? That’s all I need to know." The clown looked down and studied child's first name, then smiled with great delight. "Would you be willing to take his place? You are just the perfect height!" Child's first name looked at his friends with a great big grin, and quickly agreed to go. "Hi child's first name, my name is Coco, and tonight you’ll be in the show." Coco painted child's first name face white, and gave him/her bright colored clothes. She topped child's first name head with a bright orange wig and put a red ball on his/her nose. And just when child's first name was through getting dressed, the lights in the tent went out. A spotlight shone on the ringmaster, who started to walk and shout. "As we begin, please give your attention to the cage just on my right. Where Daniel, our fearless lion trainer, has worked both day and night." Six giant beasts rushed into the cage, as Daniel cracked his whip. child's first name thought to him/herself, "I could do that, but it’s something I’d rather skip." They jumped through hoops and formed a line, and child's first name thought it was funny, when a lion rolled onto his back, and showed the crowd his tummy. As child's first name looked up, at the very top of the tent, he/she had to guess the next act was a most dangerous event. Child's first name saw a clown step forward, and jump on a flying trapeze. After he swung a couple of times, he hung upside down by his knees. Suddenly, it seemed to child's first name that everything happened at once. Three separate groups came into the tent to perform three different stunts. First came a clown on a one-wheeled ride, as fast as he could go. Juggling things up in the air, he was sure to steal the show. In the third ring was the funniest thing, child's first name thought he/she had seen it all. When a mouse and seal team stunned the crowd, with balloons and a big bright ball. The circus fun went on and on. It seemed to last all day. Clowns rolled in on a fire truck, with hoses ready to spray. Friends’ or family members’ names were ready for a soak, but when confetti sprayed out on them, child's first name saw it was a joke. Child's first name was busy watching the show, and completely lost track of time. He/she was startled when he/she heard Coco say, "Get ready, we’re next in line!" "Get ready for the big parade!" Coco said to child's first name with a grin. "You get to ride an elephant that goes by the name of Big Ben." Child's first name eyes grew wide and he/she laughed with delight when Coco pointed and said, "Climb up this ladder to get on his back, and sit behind his head." Child's first name climbed on the back of Big Ben, who stood at least twelve feet high. And just as child's first name was settled in, he/she heard the ring master cry. "Ladies and gentlemen, I’m afraid to say we’re close to the end of our show, but we’d like to give you one last act, before we let you go." We’re going to have a big parade, right here inside our tent, but I have a great announcement to make, before we begin the event. The one who’s going to lead the parade, lives right here in your home town. It brings me pleasure to present to you, home town and state own child's first name the clown!" When child's first name had gotten off Big Ben, and thanked him for the ride, he/she went to find Coco the Clown and give her a hug good-bye. On the way home child's first name remembered the show, where magic and wonder were found. Child's first name knew he/she would never forget the day the circus came to town. |
