The Acrobats Silk Cushion

NAINSI WANTED TO BE A BALLERINA, BUT HER FAMILY COULD NOT AFFORD TO SEND HER TO BALLET SCHOOL, SO SHE JOINED THE CIRCUS INSTEAD AND LEARNT HOW TO BE A TRAPEZE ARTIST. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT SHE FOUND IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE WHEN JACQUES, (THE LION TAMER) WAS AROUND.

SEBASTIÁN TOOK AFTER HIS GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER WHO WAS ALSO AN ACROBAT. HE FELT MORE AT HOME IN THE AIR ON THE TRAPEZE THAN ON THE GROUND. SEBASITÁN WAS IN LOVE WITH HIS TRAPEZE PARTNER NAINSI, BUT SHE ONLY HAD EYES FOR JACQUES (THE LION TAMER).
