Last month I happened to see a circus in my town. The
proprietors of’ the circus got a big ground outside the town on rent. This spot
was covered with many canopies. Some were meant for the animals. Others for the
workers and a huge shamiana were meant for the circus show.
As I went there. I saw huge gates having the
photographs of tigers. Elephants and other animals. The entire place was
glittering with lights. I entered the arena. There were many seats. All the
seats were packed. Men Women and children were anxiously waiting for the show
to start. Soon the show started.
‘the first item to be presented was gymnastics. This
performance was given by girls. All the girls did marvelous exercises like
swings. Exchange of swings and walking on a rope.
The second item was a dance by a troupe of girls.
The all danced to the accompaniment of a band. This dance performance was high
appreciated by spectators.
Then came
elephant, one elephant stood on its hind legs. Another elephant walked over a
plank placed on the chest of a man. While one of the elephants cycled.
Another item shown was of lion and the lion-tamer.
All the lions obeyed the commands of the master. The item showing a lion and
lamb drinking water from the same tub was also shown.
The show came to an end at 10 P.M. It was a
thrilling circus show. Almost all the spectators were pleased with this show.
The memories of the scenes are still afresh in my mind. Everybody enjoyed the
circus show and that is why they returned with the smiling face.
