A DAY AT THE CIRCUS!!!


It had been years since she had gone to the circus and tomorrow she was finally going. She had driven by the site earlier as they were setting up the Big Top and it brought back a lot of fun memories. She could almost smell the popcorn popping and hear the candy floss being spun. In fact she could almost taste them. Oh yeah, can't forget the candy apples and the caramel apples either.

She could hear the Barkers words in her mind as she made her way home.

STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS!!!
COME ON DON'T BE SHY!!
COME AND MEET THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD
COME AND SEE WHAT ALL THE FUN IS ABOUT
STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS
THAT'S RIGHT LITTLE LADY
RIGHT THIS WAY!!!

She remembered reading some stories about the circus in one of her books and when she got home she dug through her bookshelves until she finally found what she was looking for and began to read.

After reading the last sentence, she gently closed the book. She may as well get an early night as tomorrow promised to be a full and exciting day. After setting the book back onto the proper shelf she headed to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of juice. After draining it, she rinsed it out and set it in the dish drainer and made her way to bed. She dreamt of the circus that night.

Upon awakening in the morning she glanced at her watch and gave a start. If she was going to meet her friends in time to make it to the opening of the circus, she had better get a move on. Taking a quick shower she was soon ready and ran down the stairs. Grabbing her sweater off the hook by the door she quickly made her exit.

On the way to the park she reminisced about the times she had read about in the book. The circus could be quite the adventure and be anything you want it to be. All it took was a little imagination.
