Alan Comes Out Of His Trance

Charlie was over on the far side of the circus & carnival when he got a message.

"Hello?" Charlie asked.

"Pop, this is Henry." Henry said.

"Henry?" Charlie asked.

"Come straight to the big top, I can see someone shady over here." Henry said to Charlie.

"And, bring Mr. Zambini too, Uncle Charlie." Candace requested.

"I'll be right there." Charlie said to Candace.

Charlie then ended his call with Henry.

A few hours later, Charlie & Mr. Zambini came into the big top to find Henry & Stanley with a safety net under Alan who was still walking on the high wire, while Candace went up to one of the platforms to try to help her entranced cousin.

"Alan! Snap out of it!" Suzie called out.

Anne just snapped her fingers and Alan came out of his trance.

"Alan! Be careful," Candace called out. "you are on the trapeze wire!"

"Whatever you do, Buddy, don't look down!" Anne called up to Alan.

Alan looked down from his position on the high wire.

"Yow!" Alan screamed in tremendous fright.
