Synopsis

Franklin and his companions were headed to the circus, and he’d instructed everyone to arrive early – a detail he conveniently omitted from his conversation with his parents. The anticipation, however, soon gave way to boredom as the minutes stretched into a long wait. Just when the group began to flag, one friend arrived later than the others. Undeterred by the delay, they found ways to enjoy themselves nonetheless, proving that even a protracted wait couldn't spoil the prospect of fun.
