Chapter 2: Jonathan's Adventure

The children were all sitting comfortably on the soft red velvet train cushions when Jonathan said "I'm hungry Mat.'' Matthew reached into Jonathan's bag and grabbed his raisins. Giving Jonathan his snack.
"Thanck you Mat."

All of a sudden someone asked, "Would you like to go to The Spectacular Circus? Only one dollar per person."

A man stood in front of them. He was tall with no hair except for a thick, black, handlebar mustache. He was wearing baggy pants and a red vest highlighted with gold letters the letters read,

"Spectacular Circus, Ringmaster." He smiled as he held out some tickets to them and smiled. Then he said again as he looked at Suzann, "Only one dollar per person, a real deal if you ask me."
Suzann was surprised but she did not want to be rude so she stopped staring and answered,

"Oh...no thank you." The strange man started walking away mumbling sadly to himself,
"Oh dear, I never get any tickets sold. What will happen to us now?" Johnathan heard what he said adhd felt bad so he yelled to him,
"I do. I do. I want a ticket to the circus!"

The Ringmaster skipped happily back to the table holding out his hand. Smiling he said,

"One dollar please." Johnathan put his hand into his pocket pulling out two quarters and three buttons. Jounathan did not know how to make a dollar with coins so he hoped that the buttons would work. Jounathan put the stuff into the Ringmaster's hand. The Ringmaster looked down and gave it back. Suzann looked down at Jonathan and said bewildered,

"Why did you do that? You know we can't go to the circus. You know we don't have money for tickets. And we don't have time, we're going to Grandpas."

"Chill Suzann, forgive the little rascal," Matthew responded in a fond tone. Matthew and Suzann started arguing, but after a while both of them cooled down.

In the meantime Jonathan decided he would go on an adventure because of how boring it was getting. He noticed the bald man and quickly followed him.

Jonathan smelled the aroma of fresh-baked cookies. Jonathan wished that he could go there but he wanted to follow the Ringmaster. Luckily that was where the bald man was going.

As soon as Jonathan was in the pantry, he quickly stuffed his pockets full of cookies, some tarts, puff pastries, and strudels. Always keeping one eye on the shining bald head. Meanwhile outside the door the Ringmaster was yelling,

"Hurry up, my crew is as hungry as wolves, starved even!" The chef answered saying,

"Well maybe if you didn't work them to their extreme, they wouldn't be as hungry."

They both went on fighting as Jounathan went on eating.

Then Matthew and Suzann noticed that Jonathan was gone! "Matt did you see Johny leave?" Suzann exclaimed.

"No, I didn't!" said Matthew with a really worried look on his face. Matthew hurriedly called an attendant.

"Hello, what do you need?" asked the attendant.

"My brother is lost on the train!"
"Is he with an adult." The attendant replied.

"No, what do you not get about me saying he's lost! If he was with an adult he wouldn't be lost," announced Matt annoyed.

Suzann gave Matthew a face that said "Remember your manners"

The attendant replied, "Then where are your guardian's children?"

"She got..." Mathew started, then Suzann cut him off
"She is talking to the chef right now."

"Alright then, I will look for your brother," said the attendant.
