The Circus 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.
