02:25Is Blue Bunny going to jump through the circle hoop?
02:49Great jumping, Blue Bunny.
02:53What's this?
02:55Ah, Green Frog is going to jump through the circle hoop, too.
03:09Great jumping, Green Frog.
03:13Oh, look.
03:15Bruno is holding the circle hoop higher.
03:22And higher still.
03:23And now, for the highest jump of all.
03:31Wonderful jumping.
03:36Look, Bruno.
03:38Big Elephant wants to try.
03:42Oh, my.
03:55It seems Big Elephant is too big to jump through the circle hoop.
03:59That's very funny, Big Elephant.
04:08Maybe you'll have better luck with the next act.
04:11Well, what's the next act in your circus, Bruno?
04:16Green Crocodile is riding a unicycle.
04:29That's right, Bruno.
04:30The wheel is another circle.
04:32Green Crocodile is juggling one ball.
04:40Yes, of course, another circle.
04:45Green Crocodile is juggling one ball.
04:51And now, Green Crocodile is juggling one more.
05:03That's one, two, three balls.
05:06Oh, my.
05:10Now, Big Elephant wants to try juggling two.
05:14All right, Big Elephant, there's one ball, two balls, three balls.
05:27And one big ball.
05:32Are you all right, Big Elephant?
05:35Thank goodness.
05:38But where did all the balls go?
05:40Oh, dear.
05:41There's one ball.
05:43Two balls.
05:46And three balls.
05:49Don't worry, Big Elephant.
05:51I'm sure Bruno will find an act that's just right for you.
05:57You're right, Big Elephant.
05:59Such as you're playing a dream,
06:06and a gentleman will find an act-like game.
06:13You're a servant, and he has a great enemy.
06:18You're two balls.
06:21Don't worry, Big Elephant.
06:23This makes sense.
06:25Oh, my God.
06:55Oh, dear. It seems that everybody has an act except for Big Elephant.
