The children are doing gymnastics in Sunshine Gardens when Mrs Berg stops to watch. They remind her of when she was in the Far East and saw the greatest circus ever. The star of the show was Buttercup the elephant and oh how she'd love to see it all again. Ella says that they will make a circus for her, so with all the other children she goes off to practice and rehearse. But, "Oh what a pickle", they haven't got an elephant and she was Mrs Berg's favourite act. Later, Ella has a chance encounter so, maybe they have, after all!
