Mavis stared out the window of the trailer. " Oscar, a mob is coming".
He frowned and picked up his magic sheet. " Sorry Mavis, this happens to me all the time".
" Thank you for letting me work with you". She gave him a peck on the cheek. " You better go".
A knock came on the door. " Open up Oscar". The knocks came louder. " Come on out you phony".
Oscar put the sheet over him.
A clown burst through the door. " Mavis, where is he?".
" Zim Zim Zallah Bim".
As Freckles the Clown moved closer toward the sheet, the sheet dropped. The clown stopped and scratched his head in amazement.
Oscar was gone.
Quietly, he stepped down underneath the trailer and looked around for any signs of the mob.
" There he is!".
Oscar ran between the tents and then toward one of the circus's hot air balloons.
Freckles the Clown ran up to the basket just as Oscar got in.
He kicked him in the knee and the burly clown went down on the ground.
Oscar took out a knife and cut the rope holding the balloon to the ground.
The balloon slowly rose up into a dark and stormy Kansas sky.
