The circus man tied Billy to the back Of his
buggy and whipping up his horse he started for

he got out Of breath he could not stop unless the
horse did The worst of it the horse kicked up
such dreadful dust that II nearly blinded Billy as

they came the outskirts OF the town. where the
circus tents were pitched. and Billy was united
from the buggy and led inside a large tent where
cages Of wild animals were arranged around the
edge while in the centre two elephants and
four cameis We're tethered. When he got inside the
circus called one of the TO bring him
a strong peg. This he drove into the ground and
tethered Billy to it, like all the other animals were

And there Billy stood with his head raised wait
ing for them. and he made as fine picture Of a
goat as you ever saw, standing on a little green
knoll with the slvery stream running at his feet
The circus man was delighted with him. for he
was almost twice the size Of any other goat he had
ever seen. and he thought how fine he would look
dressed Up as a professor with his long. silky beard

them forward and in he held rope with a

But while Billy thinking this the circus man
was making the rope ny round and round his head
In q long circle. and soon. with quick twist the
rope straightened out and the loop fell Billys

Billy was the most surprised goat you ever saw.
