Kayla Jean Anderson
in a Birthday Adventure
Happy Birthday, Kayla! from
Mom, Dad, and Jonathan
July 16, 2007
On her birthday, Kayla Jean Anderson, age 4, was the happiest girl in Baraboo, Wisconsin. She was excited because she was going to the circus with Mom, Dad, and Jonathan.
As soon as they arrived at the circus, Kayla bought popcorn and delicious cotton candy. Clutching her ticket, she anxiously waited in line. As Kayla neared the main entrance to the circus tent, she could see a funny clown juggling many balls.
The ticket Kayla held in her hand had a sparkling star on it. Seeing the star, the ticket-taker exclaimed, “Wait, little girl, your ticket is special. The star allows you to sit in the very front row!” Kayla rushed to her seat, and the show immediately began.
“TOOT-TOOT,” chugged a steam train as it rolled toward the center stage. The train clickity-clacked in a big circle and stopped directly in front of Kayla.
Clowns wearing colorful costumes jumped out of one tiny car and did tricks that made everyone laugh. Kayla wondered how so many clowns could fit inside such a small car.
Kayla was delighted to see the chimpanzees balance on bicycles. All of a sudden, CoCo, the baby chimpanzee, disappeared. Kayla noticed him ride his bicycle out of the circus tent straight into the parking lot.
Kayla jumped from her seat and dashed after CoCo. Kayla was able to save CoCo just before he crashed into a big truck. She then returned the thankful CoCo to his loving mother chimpanzee.
Then the ringmaster announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a very special guest in the audience. Her name is Kayla Jean Anderson, age 4, from Baraboo, Wisconsin. Today is her birthday and she just saved the life of CoCo, the baby chimpanzee. Let’s give her a big round of applause.”
Kayla smiled broadly as she joined the ringmaster on the center stage. Just then Kayla saw several clowns wheeling out a huge cake. To her surprise the cake read: Happy Birthday, Kayla Jean Anderson and thanks for saving CoCo, the baby chimpanzee.
Suddenly, a cuddly teddy bear jumped out of the giant birthday cake. Kayla laughed and clapped her hands as three ballerina bears danced just for her birthday. Lovely ladies riding a team of horses galloped into the center ring. Kayla was amazed to see the beautiful horses leap through blazing hoops of fire.
The ringmaster invited Kayla to ride on one of the horses. Kayla waved to Mom, Dad, and Jonathan as she rode past them on the white stallion. Kayla thought, “It’s great fun to be in the circus!”
Next, a bright red fire truck carrying fire-fighting bears raced toward a burning building. Kayla, along with Mom, Dad, and Jonathan shouted, “Jump! Jump!” to the bear trapped inside the burning building. Quickly the frightened bear leaped into the safety net below. In a hurry, rescue bears stopped the fire by spraying water on the raging flames.
The ringmaster announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, our world-famous elephants will perform for you!” The huge animals did balancing acts, while clowns did cartwheels on their backs.
The ringmaster asked, “Kayla, everyone thinks you’re great, won’t you please join the circus and travel around the world with us?” Kayla replied, “I would love to be in the circus, but I would miss Mom, Dad, and Jonathan.” The ringmaster pleaded, “For your birthday, will you lead the grand parade?” “I would love to,” replied Kayla.
She immediately climbed on the back of a huge elephant and proudly led the parade. Kayla waved goodbye to her friends and promised to visit them when the circus returned to Kayla told Mom, Dad, and Jonathan, “I will never forget my wonderful adventure at the circus!”
