Sonny and his                         sisters would take turns sliding into the                         when the                           would get too hot.  Sonny was the silliest                           out of all                         .  He would do silly tricks for his sisters on the                         and in the                               .  Sam the                             loved when Sonny would do somersaults while singing silly songs.      One day, Sonny’s friend Sam the                             told him that the                                 was going to be on the big island across the                            , and the owner of the                             was searching for a silly                           to join them.  Sonny sat on the                           in the                         thinking about the                             .

The ringmaster and owner were surprised to see Sonny and watched him perform his silly  tricks.  They especially liked it when he stood on top of a                           and juggled                           small                             on the end of his slippery nose.
