Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening. First the men had put up tile big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally

But the most exciting moment of all was when

32、the trainer allowed them to watch him go into them lions cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round.

33、mals in a circus.
