A
circus shows amusing tricks by man and animals. One afternoon I went to a South
Indian circus at Park Circus with my younger sister. The tent was decorated and
brightly lit up. The show began with the dance by some young girls. They were
clad in colourful skirts. They walked, ran and danced on a rope. We saw cycling
by a girl on the wire with an open umbrella in her hand. When the girls were
gone a man started riding motor bike round the ring at a great speed. Next a
girl went up a tall ladder and stood there tossing coloured wooden balls.
A Circus
There
was a clown who often repeated this show in a manner that made us laugh. Then
came the animals. Some elephants showed some tricks. They stood on their hind
legs. We saw a show of monkeys acting like men, sitting on a cycle. Last of
all, came the ring master with two tigers and a whip in his hand. They obeyed
the master and acted like pet dogs. The show ended at 8 pm. We walked home
talking about the tricks we had seen.
