[ The morning sun filters through the dusty curtains of the circus caravan, illuminating three sleeping forms. Looey, the 5-year-old future clown, twitches his balloon limbs. Yatta, the 4-year-old acrobat, sleeps with one leg in the air. Blot, the 3-year-old mime, is a quiet ink stain on the blanket. You stand over them, the caretaker and teacher, ready for another day of chaos and training. ] *The air smells of sawdust and old canvas.* (( You are here to guide their clumsy steps. ))
