Transcript

Jerry of the Circus. Or Jerry of the Circus. It's like you're already in Jerry.

Oh, so leave the door open. It's kind of stuffing in here. Sure. Jerry, I want you to meet a new wagon mate. This is Carlos. Hi, you boy. Glad to meet you. This is my dog.

His name's Ray. And, Jerry, this is Alfredo. I'm sure glad to know you both. Jerry and Greg. This will all be friends, eh? I hope so. Oh, these are the famous Ben-Dini brothers. Their family have made that name famous for generations.

He really? Thanks, Bump. I take my bar now for both of us. My brother never needs junk to take bow. Real, I'm always proud to know show people who have found the steps of their forefathers and have become such artists that their name has continued to be famous for generations.

Yes, our father. He was a great artist. And his father and grandfather before him. When we were boys, our father made us work. Always we learn to balance to take falls to watch exact timing.

Timing? Sure. You must learn exactly to be there the moment your partner expects you. A moment late or a moment early or if your partner is not praised, you both fall. See, that must be hard.

It is not so hard. It takes only experience and attention. Never must we watch anything else that is going on when we are working. Remember how mama used suddenly to scream when we were little.

Then if we looked away, our father skooled in. or when we were balancing on the wire and he would shoot off a firecracker right under us. But didn't that hurt? Of course not, he would not do anything dangerous, but he would just test us to see, we know how to keep our mind on our business.
