The Rodriguez Brothers Circus is in town! Every year, the circus arrives and stays for a week. 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 meters 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 highlights 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.
