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?

<strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni Wakes to a<br />
New Morning<br />
<strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni’s circus was on the<br />
verge of bankruptcy. Having endured<br />
countless rains and hot blazing days, the<br />
circus tent’s colors were fading. The tent<br />
had gone through hard times just like the<br />
owner <strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni himself. But he<br />
never complained. This was what he had<br />
always wanted to do for a living, just like his<br />
father, grandfather, and great-grandfather in their times. It<br />
was honorable to continue the tradition that his family had<br />
started one hundred years ago.<br />
Cannelloni felt proud looking at the beautifully framed<br />
pictures hanging on the walls of his wagon. The pictures<br />
portrayed generations of Cannellonis—handsome,<br />
mustachioed men with determination in their eyes. It<br />
seemed as if their eyes followed Cannelloni now as he shaved<br />
in front of an oval mirror.<br />
The circus owner dabbed shaving foam on his<br />
chin and expertly maneuvered the razor.<br />
Once in a while, he wiped off extra foam<br />
with the towel that hung from his waist.<br />
A moustache like his demanded care and<br />
precision.<br />
