Fig. 24.—“Must rest.”
Remember to mark and color the wrong side of each figure as it should appear, so that the animals and rider may look well from all sides of the ring.
Fig. 25.—“Just balance like me.”
The horse can go rapidly, but the elephant, to be lifelike, must move slowly. When the circus is over roll the threads on their respective pieces of cardboard and bits of tape to avoid tangling them, and have a box ready in which the animals may lie flat until again needed.
This little circus will make a fine parlor entertainment, or would do admirably as a side show at your next fair, when a small extra admission could be charged and wee glasses of lemonade and tiny popcorn balls passed around to the audience in true circus style.
