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?

Cannelloni dried the sweat that had broken out on his brow.<br />
“Just one more moment, my darling. I’ll eat a waffle and<br />
have a cup of coffee first,” Rosita said, trying to calm him<br />
down. “You’ll hear soon enough how we will get this circus<br />
back on its feet.”<br />
“But are you certain it will work?” <strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni asked,<br />
wringing his hands.<br />
“What do we have to lose?” Rosita replied. “This is not the<br />
time to start whining but to take some serious action!”<br />
Others around them had stopped talking. They all burst<br />
into applause at Rosita’s determined tone. Encouraged, she<br />
tossed down her coffee, stood up, and started to go through<br />
