Introduction:
For Mrs. Jumbo, all she wanted was his son to be not in harm's way and to live in peace and harmony.
But sadly and unfortunately, she lost his son to a horrible tragedy that not only took his life but one of the circus' main attractions.
So she hopes someone or something would come and become the next main attraction here in the circus.
What she didn't know was that a miracle was coming and it could change not only her life forever but also show that sometimes dreams can come true if you only believe.
Chapter 1: The Phone Call
Meanwhile in his tent, the ringmaster was thinking of what to do now and he really hasn't been the same probably ever since Dumbo died tragically.
Even worse if he didn't find another main attraction, he will have no choice but to shut down the circus and file for bankruptcy.
Just as he was thinking of what to do next, the phone rang and he well answered it.
He then said "Hello ringmaster speaking. Well I don't know it's just ever since Dumbo died, things really haven't been the same.
Oh really? She can do what and what? And she can talk?
Well alright then send her over and i'm sure she could help fill in as the new main attraction."
Once he was done with the phone call, the ringmaster wasted no time and he told everyone on the staff about the news and they were very excited for the first time ever since Dumbo's funeral.
Oh and as for Mrs. Jumbo, well she was happy and also nervous because she didn't know what to do but she knew it will do a good job at the circus.
Chapter 2: The Arrival
A few days later, the big day came and everyone was really excited because this was huge for all of them and hopefully it wouldn't end up like what happened to poor Dumbo.
Once the box opened, out came a very large female hippo with a male red billed oxpecker on her back.
The staff didn't know what to say at all because of all the many animals and talented people they got over the years, none would compare to what they've just seen.
Just then the ringmaster then looked at the card and said "Everyone this is Hilda and her red billed oxpecker Johnny."
Once the staff knew her name, they hoped she could help get this circus back on track.
Chapter 3: Getting Used To It
Once she was out of the box, the staff got her home all set and she was all set and just fine.
Just then a group of children were looking at her and they couldn't believe it because they've never seen before.
When they left, Hilda told Johnny "Man it's like have they never seen anything like me before."
"Well i'm sure once they see us tonight, they'll be amazed." Johnny then said
Chapter 4: Her First Show
That night, the circus was having a show and the place was packed probably ever since news of Hilda's arrival.
The ringmaster then announced in the middle of the big tent, "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's with great honor that i'm proud to introduce the one the only the Amazing Hilda."
Once he was done, Hilda then came out with Johnny on her back.
Johnny then asked her "Hilda, ready to some tricks?"
"I'm all set" she replied
And so she was in the middle of the circus ground and when she believed in herself, she could accomplish anything.
She then did some tricks and the crowd couldn't believe at all because this was the first time that a hippo could do some amazing things.
When she was done, the crowd gave her a standing ovation and she knew she could do it.
Once she was outside the tent, Mrs. Jumbo was proud of her for doing her tricks and even the staff knew she was the one.
Chapter 5: Hilda The Star
While she was with the circus, her popularity was getting better and better.
The shows were always sold out because they wanted to see Hilda for themselves.
Oh and as for Mrs. Jumbo, well Hilda helped her move on from the tragic death of her son and that she is grateful for.
Hilda thought this would never end but in a surprise turn of events, even the ringmaster and the staff knew something just wasn't right.
Chapter 6: The Mix Up
A few days right after their tour ended, the ringmaster heard his phone ring and decided to answer it.
He then said "Hello ringmaster speaking, oh well i'm sure there must've been a misunderstanding.
WHAT?! She was sent to the wrong what?
Well alright then I guess I have no choice but to give her to you."
When he was done, the ringmaster felt embarrassed because he thought he had the right one but really he didn't
He then had a chat with his staff about the call and the first thing they did was get everything ready for her so that she could be sent back to the right circus.
Chapter 7: The Farewell
The next morning, Hilda and Johnny were saying their goodbyes to everyone and they knew sure it may have been a short time here but their impact will never be forgotten.
Once Hilda was loaded, everyone waved goodbye at her and she was glad they cared and soon enough, the truck was heading to the other circus and from there, the rest is history.
Epilogue
Well the circus that Hilda left sadly never was the same. It declared bankruptcy and all of their animals were sent to animal sanctuaries and most of their workers sadly never even worked in show business anymore. Oh and as for Hilda well sure her time with one circus is over but her time with the next circus was just getting started.
