Difference Between Circus Animal Owners

Clown B has a cat who does marvelous tricks.
She can open cupboards and loves to do it.
The circus audience laughs at her abilities, but not at her.
She is a show off; her name is Princess.
She is treated like a queen.
She is well-loved, well-fed and spoiled.
She loves being in the circus, for she loves attention and children.

Clown C has a tiger who is not treated well.
He has never felt grass under his feet.
He was stolen from his mama as a baby.
No one gives him attention.
Sometimes they forget to feed him.
He gets loose and eats things he should not eat.
He is glad not to be in this world anymore.
But wishing he would have eaten his owner’s head now.

I really do relate to animals; they are so at our mercy!
