Mr. Cannelloni's Circus
Mr. Cannelloni’s circus has been operating for generations—ever since his great-grandfather started it one hundred years ago. But with ticket sales dropping and the circus equipment falling into disrepair, the future of Cannelloni’s Circus looks bleak, especially when a strict special inspector arrives to look things over. Luckily Mr. Cannelloni’s wife, Rosita—once a daring tightrope walker—has some new bold stunts in mind. With the help of a snake woman, a strongman, daredevil horsemen, and other circus performers, Rosita launches “Operation Hannibal.” Will her risky rescue plan be enough to save Mr. Cannelloni’s Circus?

Boris’s Houseguests<br />
Emilio was nervous. The Cannelloni <strong>Circus</strong> had invaded<br />
Boris’s entire villa. In the stables’ vacant stalls, there<br />
were peculiar animals that smelled bad. All kinds of mounts<br />
and platforms had been set up between buildings so that the<br />
performers could practice their stunts and rehearse their<br />
numbers.<br />
In Emilio’s opinion, the peaceful mountain villa felt more<br />
like a swarming anthill. The boisterous performers gathered<br />
in the large dining room to eat, and it was impossible to<br />
keep that annoying monkey from climbing up and down<br />
the velvet curtains. The rascal hopped about on the curtain<br />
rods and used the tassels to swing from window to window.<br />
