Animal Ville Circus

Four miles south of where the Elavanies lived, the animal creatures had a sudden dilemma. Timothy Tiger was grieving from the sudden death of his wife, Lucinda. His sadness turned into uncontrollable anger and he went into Animal Ville roaring into the dark, foreboding night. He kept all the creatures awake at night, even the baby birds and other various animals couldn't be pacified while hearing Timothy's cry.
The creatures of Animal Ville had created a loud boisterous, but harmonious band over the Christmas holidays. They had formed a close working relationship with the Elvanies, especially throughout the holidays. The small creatures of Animal Ville had made the Elvanies' store profit grow by 20 percent for the seasonal year. They had trumpets blaring, their signal of distress to the Elvanies who immediately came to the aid of the creatures of Animal Ville.

The head Elvanie, by the name Locusto had earnest feelings of concern for his little friends and would do anything to help them. He was the owner of the store, which upon closing, he rounded up all the Elvanie men and went directly to Animal Ville to find out how he could help. Animal Ville was desolate by the uproar of Timothy Tiger. Locusto desperately tried to find Badgering Bob. Bob was hiding his little Bobby in a hollow log wrapped in a soft woolen blanket. This covering was so his son could get a good night sleep.

Locusto being the head Elvanie knew of a special brew he mixed up and put into the trough in the Grand Elvanie arena. He had the Elvanie men lead Timothy into the arena and he ate the special brew as though he had not eaten in days. The brew had a calming effect on Timothy and soon Locusto realized he could train Timothy to be a pet in the Animal Ville Circus. He even had the small creatures of Animal Ville feeding him snacks like steak strips without him biting their appendages off.

Locusto and small animals decided to make a small circus to add some excitement to Animal Ville. Timothy became the main attraction. Locusto held up rings of fire for Timothy to jump through. The squirrels had acorn-cheek stuffing contests in which Fred Sr. won first prize ribbon. The mice had busy mazes in which when they raced and reached their prize, good old time farmers' cheese.

As the day grew into darkness, the circus that the Elvanies were putting on grew into an uneasy mood. Timothy Tiger had just finished his rings of fire again, which of course he received first place. There was a blue circular platform, which he was about to jump onto when suddenly the ghost of Lucinda, his dead wife suddenly appeared. Her coloring was of an albino pink and scared the crowd. This did not scare Timothy, however; who knew how she reached such a color.

Timothy had to calm the crowd down by telling them the story of how Lucinda died. She was going about her own business out scouting for food. It was around Thanksgiving and she thought she had come across some cranberry sauce. The neighboring house had just had a baby and the male tiger looked threatening. As a safeguard, they put poison out; unfortunately, Lucinda ate the poison. Lucinda was normally a bright orange lion with a a sunshine yellow mane.

When leaving the arena, apparently a blizzard had taken place and two feet of snow had fallen. Inside the arena, the doors were closed and there were no windows, so the blizzard was a shock to the circus goers. Locusto had to send his son, Lonny in his snowmobile back to Animal Ville. Hi son went there to get his dad's pick up truck with the snowplow on the front of it to make a pathway.

Upon arriving back at the arena all the prizes and even a trophy was given to Timothy Tiger for his rings of fire trick. Soon Lonny has to work plowing a trail back to Animal Ville. All the little animals danced their way back home in celebration of their winnings. The squirrels placed their ribbons in the hollow of their trees. Soon ribbons decorated the landscapes of Animal Ville.
