Circus

     Jack was excited about going to the circus.  everyone in his family was going.  That included his two brothers, baby sister plus Mom and Dad.  He got up very early that morning. The bathroom was empty.  The house was so quite.  After he showered and dressed he called out to his Mom.  There was no answer.  Then he called his Dad.  There still was no answer.

     As he ran down the stairs he saw Buck, the family dog run toward the kitchen.  He saw a note on the table with his name on it.  He instantly felt frightened.  As he picked up the note a tear began to roll down his cheek. He eyes were so blurred due to the tears in his eyes.

    Before he could read the note there was pressure on his shoulder.  He gasped then quickly turned around.  He heard a voice say, ' do not bother to rad the note.  Why didn't you answer the telephone. Lets go to the circus. "  Jack replied wiping away his tears,  "ok Dad".
