Narrator:
[quoting Béby]
Before going to sleep, my dog and I, good Christians, always say a prayer, because in the circus, beasts and clowns share the same God. 'Dear God, allow me to continue to serve young and old, give me a long career in the sawdust ring, as necessary to me as spaghetti. In God's name, amen.' See more » |
