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?

Dawn in the Alps<br />
The circus caravan descended toward a valley. Around<br />
them were fields, groves, and small villages. Watching<br />
the view, Rosita felt sentimental. B.B., a friend from her<br />
youth, was somewhere out there, waiting for her. He had<br />
been very pleasantly surprised at Rosita’s call after so many<br />
years. Rosita blushed now, remembering his delight at<br />
hearing her voice.<br />
“You know, you really could tell me more about this plan,”<br />
<strong>Mr</strong>. Cannelloni said, noting his wife’s expression. “Who is<br />
this B.B., anyway?”<br />
“I used to be quite pretty when I was young, Ernesto, and I<br />
had many suitors. B.B., also known as Boris Bubka, was one<br />
of the most ardent ones.”<br />

opera singer, is an old acquaintance of yours?” Cannelloni<br />
asked in amazement. Jealousy stabbed him in the heart.<br />
