The Girl at the Circus
About The Girl at the Circus
A lazy girl goes to the circus without doing her homework. A clown-magician asks the children to correct a misspelled word. Everyone can do it except her. He brings her into the ring and she still cannot write it. The performers shame her until she cries. A classmate, a good student, runs in, says she will not let them bully her friend, and promises to study with her.
