First we'll introduce a few of Abercrombie's friends.
One of Abercrombie's close friends at the circus is JoJo, the juggler.
JoJo juggles three plates or, sometimes, three bottles.
Then there is Jingo, the jester, who struts along the circus Midway,
looking important. He's OK, though.
Abercrombie also has friends among the clowns who do somersaults
and fancy rolls, and play violins as they do their tricks. He knows the
elephants that ride around the ring on huge, funny looking bicycles and
the jugglers and clowns and elephants that enjoy making children laugh.
Finally, there is Bumble, the Bee. Bumble is the Circus Ringmaster. He
buzzes from one place to another in the circus rink, telling people what to
do and when to do it. He's bossy, but he's OK, too.
Let's return to Abercrombie. He has been planning his secret adventure
for a long time.
We see him close to the circus tent with colored flags flying from the
top. He sniffs the air and smells the popcorn, and he hears the booming
of the drums and the blaring of the trumpets. Crowds of children and
their parents are heading for the circus tents.
