Let's Go to the Circus!
The circus comes to town.
“Let's go to the circus,” says Bonk.
“I love cotton candy.”
“I like the elephants,” says Lurk.
“The clowns are funny,” says Jupe.
“Do we have money?” asks Jupe.
Bonk has three pennies and a rock.
Lurk has a dime and a button.
Jupe’s pockets are empty.
“What should we do?” asks Jupe.
“Let's have a lemonade stand,” says Bonk.
“Then we will have money.”
The monsters cut up lemons.
They add water and sugar.
They wait and wait.
No one comes to the stand.
“No one is thirsty,” cries Lurk.
“Maybe they are hungry,” says Bonk.
“Let's have a pizza stanb.”
The monsters make the crust.
They add sauce and cheese.
They cook the pizza and wait.
No one comes to the stand.
“No one is hungry!” cries Lurk.
Just then, a monkey runs by.
It climbs a tree.
The Ringmonster from the circus chases it.
“Come back!” says the Ringmonster.
The monkey sits high in the tree and laughs.
“Can you help me?” asks the Ringmonster.
Bonk has an idea.
He puts some pizza on a plate.
He puts some lemonade in a glass.
He sets them under the tree.
The monkey climbs down from the tree.
It eats the pizza and drinks the lemonade.
“BURP!” says the monkey.
Then it runs back to the circus.
“Thank you!” says the Ringmonster.
“Would you like to come to the circus with me?”
“Yes!” say Bonk, Lurk, and Jupe.
“Follow the monkey!” says the Ringmonster.
