Speaker A
It's night. Sally is with her uncle Coco the Clown in his circus motorhome. They are having dinner. Suddenly, they hear a strange noise. What's that? I don't know.
Speaker A
What can it be? It's round and gray. Oh, it's a spaceship! Sally and Coco run outside. A small ET and a robot are coming down the stairs of the spaceship. My name is PB3 and this is my robot Robin. My name
Speaker A
is Sally and this is my uncle Coco the Clown. PB3 and Robin are very surprised. On planet P3, they don't have animals or motorhomes or even many different colors. They only have black, gray, green, and white. Look at these funny
Speaker A
houses. Those aren't houses, they're elephants. This is a circus. Coco and Sally invite PB3 and Robin to have a cup of tea. Do you like tea? I don't know. Sally is showing PB3 some photos of her family. Her father is a juggler. His name
Speaker A
is Juggler Jim and he's very clever. Robin is taking photos of the tea. Beautiful balls: orange and blue and yellow and red and purple, brown and hot and wet. Sally's mother Ellie and her aunt Mary are elephant trainers. They are both
Speaker A
short but very strong. These are my mum and my aunt Mary. They love elephants. Oh, here's another photo. It's behind the photo of Sally's mother and the elephants. It's a photo of Katya. She's an acrobat and the circus school teacher.
Speaker A
She's very beautiful. Is this another aunt? No, it's Katya. Why is her photo here, Uncle Coco? It's time for you to go to bed, Sally. The next morning, Sally goes to the circus school. She invites PB3 and Robin to go with her.
Speaker A
Hello, welcome to the circus school. These are my new friends PB3 and Robin. Oh, there's Coco. What's he doing on that elephant? He has some flowers for Katya. He wants to give them to her, but Katya thinks he is just practicing for the
Speaker A
show. Coco is practicing. Well done.
Speaker A
Coco, it's afternoon. School is finished. PB3 and Robin go to Sally's motorhome to have lunch with her mum and dad. Goodbye, Katya. After lunch, they help Coco to get dressed for the show.
Speaker A
He wears big yellow trousers and very big black shoes, a pink and green shirt, a blue hat, and a purple coat. What a funny nose! It's a beautiful nose. It's my clown's nose. It's evening and time for the show to
Speaker A
begin. The people are going into the big top. There's Coco. He has a big red nose, a big red mouth, and two very big ears. Coco is giving all the children a balloon and a big welcome. Welcome to the circus!
Speaker A
PB3 and Robin love the circus. Coco is riding a bike. It's a very small bike. Oops, what a funny bike! It's only got one wheel. PB3 and Robin wave hello to Katya and she waves back. Look, there's Katya. Hello!
Speaker A
Katya, so come to the circus. It's right here in town. There's Katya the acrobat and Coco the clown. So hooray, hooray! It's here in town today. Come to the circus. Jim the juggler's great and you can ride on an elephant. Come now,
Speaker A
don't be late. So hurray, hooray! Come to the circus today. Hooray, hooray, hooray! It's here in town!
Speaker A
Today it's time for Katya's act. Katya goes up and up and up and up. Coco pulls some flowers from his coat
Speaker A
for Katya. He wants to give them to her, but Katya thinks it's just part of the show. Katya is walking on a rope up in the big top. Everyone is watching her. Hmm, that's difficult. Suddenly, Katya starts to fall.
Speaker A
Everyone's surprised. Whoops, be careful Katya! Coco is standing under Katya. He has his arms open to catch her. Be careful, Uncle Coco! Look at the acrobat, she's falling. PB3 hits a button on Robin's control panel and a strong wind goes round the circus.
