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?

Finally, it was only Cannelloni and Budo out on the<br />
bridge. The two men saw the horses standing ahead<br />
on the bridge, but the animals wouldn’t let themselves get<br />
caught. Suddenly Budo came up with an idea. Elvira had<br />
experienced so many thunderstorms during her life that she<br />
wasn’t easily frightened. Budo opened the door to the trailer<br />
and let Elvira out in the rain.<br />
First, the elephant looked around in bewilderment. But then<br />
she noticed the horses standing on the bridge, shifting their<br />
hooves nervously. With slow strides, she walked up to the<br />
horses and trumpeted calmly. Minutes later, when Elvira<br />
turned around, the horses followed her—all the way back to<br />
the truck.<br />
Sighing from relief and exhaustion, the men locked the rear<br />
doors and shook hands. The rain had lightened up, and they<br />
could now continue their journey.<br />
