“We’ll take some of our toys out on the porch and play circus,” Donald answered.
Soon the children were playing this game. The Woolly Dog was there, of course, and so was a little Donkey that could wiggle his ears and nod his head. Donald also had a Wooden Tiger who looked very fierce but who wouldn’t even so much as bite your little finger if you put it in his mouth. He was a very good Tiger, even if he did look fierce.
“I’ll make my Woolly Dog do tricks,” said Donald.
He found a small wooden hoop and Susan kindly pasted some paper over it for the little boy.
“Now I’ll make my Dog jump through the hoop the way they do in the circus,” said Donald. And, as truly as I am telling you, the Woolly Dog really burst through the paper hoop.
Of course Donald tossed the Dog, but it looked very natural, and Jane clapped her hands in delight.
“Now make believe your Dog is a horse and let my Celluloid Doll ride on his back,” proposed Jane.
“Oh, that’ll be fun!” laughed Donald, and this was done. The Celluloid Doll looked like a real circus bareback rider.
But, after a while, the children became tired of playing circus.
“What else can we do?” asked Jane.
