    The Circus
    Read through the text about a circus, then answer the questions.

    The Fellini 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
    metres 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.
