The circus has come to Sunnysands and Elsie is very excited. Her enthusiasm grows when a would-be clown called Ravioli arrives at the Mill, hoping to audition for the circus. The problem is, he doesn't know how to be funny. The family try to help, especially Great Aunt Loretta, but nothing works.

Then Mr Whoops turns up and soon has everyone laughing as he falls over. Ravioli tries to copy Mr Whoops but fails miserably and goes to his room to pack. Elsie calls Grandpa, who is out shopping with Loretta, and he promises to help.

On goes the shrinking cap! Grandpa flies home on Mrs Ostrich and swoops over Ravioli's head. Ravioli ducks and dives about so much he ends up doing roly poly somersaults. At last! He can do clowny things. Roly Poly Ravioli rushes off to join the circus. Show less
