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?

“I’m convinced that you will pull this off, Ernesto,” Rosita<br />
had said emphatically as the caravan was about to set off, and<br />
they had been sitting in their car—first in the line. “Budo<br />
has showed us the straightest route across the Alps. Just wait<br />
and see. By dawn we will have reached the other side.”<br />
<strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni had stepped on the accelerator and waved to<br />
Budo, who followed the owner with the longest truck of the<br />
circus. Inside were Elvira the elephant, the horses, and the<br />
other animals of the circus.<br />
Once in a while Cannelloni glanced at his dozing wife next<br />
to him. Although he felt burdened, he also felt quite pleased.<br />
Here he was, leading a long circus caravan that followed<br />
his Jeep along these dark mountain roads. The first phases<br />
of Madame Rosita’s rescue plan hadn’t played out quite as<br />
expected, but the circus still had its license to operate, for<br />
now at least.<br />
