The Rodriguez Brothers Circus

4
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.

NORTH AMERICA’S GEOGRAPHY

The Geography of North America North America is the third largest of

the seven continents. It is almost completely surrounded by ocean
except for its narrow southern tip which joins the continent of South
America. The Arctic Ocean lies to the north; the Atlantic Ocean and its
subdivisions, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, lie to the east;
and the Pacific Ocean lies to the west. Receding glaciers at the end of
the last ice age carved out basins for eight major lakes in the northern
half of North America. These are the five Great Lakes that form part of
the border between the United States and Canada (Lake Superior,
Lake Michigan, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Lake Huron) plus three
lakes in Canada (Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake, and Lake
Winnipeg). There are many large rivers including two of the longest
rivers in the world, the Mississippi River in the United States and the Mackenzie River in Canada. North America
is home to some awesome mountain ranges. Only the continent of Asia with the highest mountains in the world
has more mountains and mountain ranges. The western one-third of North America is dominated by mountain
ranges in a vast area called the Cordilleran Region which was affected by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the last ice
age. Spectacular mountains begin in the north near the Arctic Ocean with the Brooks Range which runs east and
west.
Mount McKinley, also called Denali, is the tallest mountain in North America. It is part of the Alaska Range
which also runs east and west. The Alaska Range is part of the upper reaches of the Rocky Mountains that extend
for 3,000 miles north and south through Canada and the United States to the Mexican border. The Rocky
Mountains are known for their scenic beauty and are home to unique North American plants and animals.
Mountainous regions continue southward all the way into Central America. The Appalachian Mountains extend
for about 2,500 miles on the east side of North America. North America is home to major desert areas, especially
