----------------------------------------------------
Ashley Wilson sat up wide awake in her bed. The sun was just coming up in Sparks, Nevada.
She could tell that it was going to be a gorgeous day. She glanced out her bedroom window.
Ashley remembered exactly where she was planning to go today with James and Brian.

Ashley had been so excited for the past week. With James and Brian,
she had made a game of finding the most circus posters all over town.
Today was the big parade and that meant the start of all the circus activities.
Ashley had even tried to go to sleep as fast as she could last night
to make the morning come more quickly.

----------------------------------------------------
Ashley began to think about all the fantastic fun she would have.
Last year, her favorite act was the clown with the invisible dog.
Ashley wondered if the clown would be there again today.
Then Ashley thought about the child who would be selected by the mayor
this year to lead the parade. Who would that lucky person be?

Just then the phone rang.
"Ashley Wilson, will you lead the big parade for us this year?"
asked the mayor of Sparks, Nevada.
"Oh, yes, yes!" exclaimed Ashley.
"Will I get to ride in the fire truck?"
The mayor chuckled, "You most certainly will, Ashley!"
11
----------------------------------------------------
James and Brian waited with Ashley while a huge helicopter
landed in her back yard. It was there to pick up Ashley.
The helicopter took off minutes later with Ashley in the front seat grinning from ear to ear.
After waving goodbye, James and Brian hurried downtown to see the parade.

From the helicopter, Ashley could see the circus parade beginning to
assemble at the edge of town. The helicopter landed and Ashley ran to the mayor.
On their way to the shiny, red fire truck at the head of the parade, they walked past
all the practicing performers and anxious animals that would be following Ashley.
Ashley was thrilled.
15
----------------------------------------------------
Someone shouted, "Look, Ashley Wilson is leading the parade this year!"
At that very moment, a big drum roll was heard.
Ashley carefully climbed aboard the fire truck next to the driver who was dressed like a clown.
Ashley enjoyed the marvelous, marching music played by the band
as the fire truck drove down the main street of Sparks, Nevada.

Immediately behind the band was a beautiful bareback rider.
Her two magnificent, prancing horses were so well trained
the rider could balance on both their backs while standing up.
Ashley imagined that the fine, fancy feathers on the noble horses' heads
were bobbing to the beat of the music. She bobbed her head also.
19
----------------------------------------------------
The fire truck turned a corner.
Ashley saw three small children mimicking the
dancing bear who was dressed in a pink ballerina costume.
The big, brown bear was very entertaining as she proudly
performed bouncy ballet steps while balancing on a ball.

The circus elephants followed next.
As she watched the playful pranks of the darling baby elephant,
Ashley daydreamed about taking him home. When the elephant fanned his big floppy ears,
Ashley could almost picture him flying through the sky with the greatest of ease.
If the baby strayed too far, the mother elephant would lovingly wrap her trunk around his.
23
----------------------------------------------------
A jolly juggler on a unicycle juggling five full bottles fascinated James and Brian.
He pedaled so fast that there were times when it was hard to keep up with him.
It was incredible that he never dropped a bottle, no matter how fast he pedaled.
James and Brian knew it took practice to be that good.

Ashley was amused by the antics of the slippery seal.
The seal would flip the ball backwards and then, with his hind flippers,
smack it right back to the tip of his nose.
Everyone loved watching the seal clap after each trick he performed.
James and Brian had fun imitating his funny, barking noises.
27
----------------------------------------------------
The acrobatic troupe was next.
Their tumbling and flipping routines had the crowd cheering.
Ashley was enjoying her place of honor,
but was really tickled when the driver told her
she would have a chance to watch the entire parade
pass before her as each act entered the big top circus tent.

A majestic lion with all his marvelous mane was in the last wagon.
He was so-o-o-o big, and his roar was so-o-o loud
Ashley could hear him from the very front of the parade.
The mild-mannered monkeys on top of his cage
did not seem at all frightened of the ferocious feline.
31
----------------------------------------------------
The fire truck stopped at the entrance of the big top circus tent.
Ashley talked to the circus stars as they went inside.
It made her feel like an important star to be so close to them.
Then Ashley joined James and Brian in her special section inside the tent.

When the circus was over, Ashley was escorted outside by the mayor and the ringmaster.
Ashley did not want this special day to end. As she turned to look one last time,
some performers were waving goodbye. Ashley waved back and smiled,
for she knew she would never forget the day she led
THE BIG PARADE!
