GARY and GINA go to THE CIRCUS

 

BOOK 3 EPILOGUE

 

compere announcing circus acts and lion-taming

After their visit to the circus, the children were sought out by people

Who wanted to make themselves look more important and famous

- Like at the Circus !

 

circus performers

 

 

Now people were seeking prestige and a name for themselves

with these new campaigns and schemes

meercat looking very important

 

People were gloating or fighting over silly things

person with dino mask and piechart

They were counting or courting money,

Or wanting prestige and fame

 

 

Often people looked to the children for direction over what to do next -

coloured signpost

Rather than think about making plans for themselves

 

 

The children felt uncomfortable with all the demands upon them

children's playroom

 

What the children wanted was to be accepted just how they were

Disabled or not, feeling OK or not, and doing things well or not

They were vulnerable too because they cared about things and people

 

The children had learned about accepting other people

smartly dressed duck with top hat

Just as they are

 

 

The circus people had glamour and fame when they came into town for a performance

three clowns doing their act with a peapod moon behind them

But there was no need to pretend amongst themselves, or with people they knew

 

 

Lots of people do put on a personal show -

tragi-comedy masks

Even when there's really no need to pretend

 

 

And Amber does not really want to be a big, fierce and awesome tiger

ginger cat and big striped tiger

Amber can tell you that it's very nice to dream . . .

 

 

The town went back to how it used to be -

And they had all discovered some helpful tips

About accepting themselves and each other

And helping people out in better ways

 

 

The children went back to their old way of life

It was somehow much nicer now than before

children's house with tree and ginger cat on a branch

 

 

They remember their time at the circus

And meeting up with the people and animals

circus procession

 

They look forward to the next time they all meet up again

Whenever and wherever that may be

town crier and mouse holding circus placards
