Read through the text about a circus, then answer the questions.
The Circus
The Rodriguez Brothers Circus is in town! Every year, the circus arrives and stays for a
week. Then they go to the next town.
There are not many animals in the circus. People told the circus that they didn't like
seeing animals performing. There is an elephant called Jacob and two old lions, Hattie
and Meg.
Most of the performers are human! There is Leopold, The Strongest Man in The World.
His father also worked in the circus, but Leopold is stronger than him, he has bigger
arms and bigger legs too! Leopold performs his act every night for the town's people
who come to watch.
Another performer is Clara. She says she has the longest hair in the world. It's about 4
meters long! She also has a daughter who works in the circus. Her name is Sue-Ellen.
Her hair is a lot shorter, but she wants to grow it as long as her mother's. Sue-Ellen
helps look after the animals and she's also learning how to juggle.
The highlight of the circus are the three clowns, Pit, Pot and Pat. They all wear long red
shoes, but Pat's shoes are the longest and sometimes, he falls over because they're so
long! They perform for about twenty minutes and they are always the most popular act
with the audience, especially the children. Many people think Pit, Pot and Pat are three
brothers, but Pat is older than the other two - he's their father! He's the oldest clown in
the country, but he has a lot of energy.
Tomorrow will be the longest day because the circus is leaving town and everything
must be packed away into big trucks.
1. The circus comes to the town twice a year.
