The Circus: Superlatives and Comparatives.
Read the text and answer the questions, then identify comparative and
superlatives.
The Rodriguez Brothers Circus is in town! Every year, the circus arrives and
stays for a week. Then they go to the next town.
There are not many animals in the circus. People told the circus that they
didn't like seeing animals performing. There is an elephant called Jacob
and two old lions, Hattie and Meg.
Most of the performers are human! There is Leopold, The Strongest Man
In The World. His father also worked in the circus, but Leopold is stronger
than him, he has bigger arms and bigger legs too! Leopold performs his act
every night for the town's people who come to watch.
Another performer is Clara. She says she has the longest hair in the world.
It's about 4 metres long! She also has a daughter who works in the circus.
Her name is Sue-Ellen. Her hair is a lot shorter, but she wants to grow it as
long as her mother's. Sue-Ellen helps look after the animals and she's also
learning how to juggle.
The highlight of the circus are the three clowns, Pit, Pot and Pat. They all
wear long red shoes, but Pat's shoes are the longest and sometimes, he
falls over because they're so long! They perform for about twenty minutes
and they are always the most popular act with the audience, especially the
children. Many people think Pit, Pot and Pat are three brothers, but Pat is
older than the other two - he's their father! He's the oldest clown in the
country, but he has a lot of energy.
Tomorrow will be the longest day because the circus is leaving town and
everything must be packed away into big trucks.
