Spring According To Humphrey (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
We had a meeting about it yesterday and I found out that the theme is “Circus Night”. Each class is supposed to come up with a circus-themed game or activity.’ ‘I think we should string a rope across the gym and all do tightrope walking,’ Tell-the-Truth-Thomas said. ‘Do you know how to walk a tightrope?’ Mrs Brisbane asked. ‘No,’ Thomas answered. ‘But I’d like to try it. Or fly on a trapeze.’ ‘Not me!’ Calm-Down-Cassie exclaimed. ‘Those sound dangerous.’ Mrs Brisbane nodded. ‘They sound dangerous to me, too. Let’s think of other circus activities.’ ‘Clowns!’ Rolling-Rosie shouted. ‘We can all be clowns!’ Other classmates agreed that her idea was GREAT-GREAT-GREAT. Mrs Brisbane nodded, but then she said, ‘I know that would be fun. But Ms Mac already signed her class up to be clowns.’ My classmates groaned. I was disappointed, too. ‘Juggling,’ Small-Paul said.
