Chapter 1- Getting in the hard way

“Hey! Look, Josh! A circus!” Yells Tas.

“Do you think we’ll be allowed?”

“Doubt,”says Josh,”I know what dad will say:

‘I’m not made of money You know!’”

Yeah, and my mum will say,

You still haven’t paid for the window you broke.’”

Mum,Josh is going to the circus.

Can I go?”

“No Tas. I told you. You still haven’t paid for the window you broke.You can’t expect to go to the circus.

Dad, Tas is going to the circus. Can we go?”

Asks Josh.

Look, son, I’m not made of money, you know. And now petrol has gone up again ….”

Any luck with your dad?” asks Tas.

Are you joking? What about your mum

No ….Hey, josh! Do you think we could sneak in?”

No way! What happens if we get caught?”

“We Won’t. There’s no one at the side of the tent.

Come on!”

Wow! It’s awesome!” says  Josh.

“It would be so good!

I wish….”

“What do you think this thing is,Josh

I wonder what this button does.’’

“No, Tas. Don’t touch it!”

Come on, Tas! Let’s get out of here!

Uh-oh! Someone’s coming! Where can we hide?”

“You’re always getting into trouble, Tas!”

“Shh! They won’t find us here.”

They hear a man’s voice:

“OK. Let’s get this log into the ring for the show.”

The log shakes.

Then:

“It’s stuck….

There’s someone inside it!

Oi! Out of there,

You!”

“And what might you boys be doing?” says a big man.

“We were just having a look,”

Says Tas.

Oh, were you?

Well this is a circus.

People pay to have a look.

Out! If you want to look,buy a ticket!”

“We’re not allowed,”says Tas. “I broke a window.”

“And Dad says we can’t afford it….”says Josh.

“Hmmm. Can you you boys work?”

“Yes, sir!” says Tas.

Well, there’s a lot of work around a circus.

You work for me, and I’ll see what I can do for you.You can start picking up all the rubbish outside.”
