"Circus parade!" exclaimed Harry. "Is a circus coming here?"
"Well, not exactly here," replied Mr. Weston. "But it is coming to
Rosedale--that's the next town--and I am going to have some moving
pictures made of it."
"The circus coming to Rosedale!" cried Bert, looking at Harry. The
same thought came to both of them.
"Let's go!" exclaimed Harry, eagerly.
"If our folks will let us," added Bert.
"Oh, I guess mine will," spoke the country boy. "Circuses don't come
around here very often, and when they do, we generally go. I do hope
they'll let you come, Bert."
"It's going to be a large circus," said Mr. Weston. "They have a good
collection of wild animals."
"I don't believe they can beat our combination of a wild cat, Snoop,
and a crazy turkey gobbler," said Bert to Harry with a laugh, when the
two boys were on their way back to the farmhouse.
Passing along a country road Bert saw something that caused him to cry
out:
"Look, there it is, Harry!"
"What?"
"The circus! See it!" and Bert pointed to a barn.
"Oh, you mean the circus posters," went on Harry, for Bert had pointed
to the bright-colored pictures advertising the performance.
