The Big Parade (Complete Story) Return to The Big Parade Order
"The Big Parade" was created especially for James Wigent at the age of 6. To Jimmy Love Mom May 15, 2002 Jimmy Wigent sat up wide awake in his bed. The sun was just coming up in Battle Creek, MI. He could tell that it was going to be a gorgeous day. He glanced out his bedroom window. Jimmy remembered exactly where he was planning to go today with Tyler, Zach and Josh. Jimmy had been so excited for the past week. With Tyler, Zach and Josh, he made a game of finding the most circus posters all over town. Today was the big parade and that meant the start of all the circus activities. Jimmy had even tried to go to sleep as fast as he could last night to make the morning come more quickly. Jimmy began to think about all the fantastic fun he would have. Last year, his favorite act was the clown with the invisible dog. Jimmy wondered if the clown would be there again today. Then Jimmy thought about the child who would be selected to lead the parade. Who would that lucky person be? Just then the phone rang. "Jimmy Wigent, will you lead the big parade for us this year?" asked the mayor of Battle Creek, MI. "Oh, yes, yes!" exclaimed Jimmy. "Will I get to ride in the fire truck?" The mayor chuckled, "You most certainly will, Jimmy!" Tyler, Zach and Josh waited with Jimmy while a huge helicopter landed in his back yard. It was there to pick up Jimmy. The helicopter took off minutes later with Jimmy in the front seat grinning from ear to ear. After waving goodbye, Tyler, Zach and Josh hurried downtown to see the parade. Immediately behind the band was a beautiful bareback rider. Her two magnificent, prancing horses were so well trained that the rider could balance on both their backs while standing up. Jimmy imagined that the fine, fancy feathers on the noble horses' heads were bobbing to the beat of the music. He bobbed his head also. The fire truck turned a corner. Jimmy saw three small children mimicking the dancing bear who was dressed in a pink ballerina costume. The big, brown bear was very entertaining as she proudly performed bouncy steps while bouncing on a ball. The circus elephants followed next. As he watched the playful pranks of the darling baby elephant, Jimmy daydreamed about taking him home. When the elephant fanned his big floppy ears, Jimmy could almost picture him flying through the sky with the greatest of ease. If the baby strayed too far, the mother elephant would lovingly wrap her trunk around his. A jolly juggler on a unicycle juggling five full bottles fascinated Tyler, Zach and Josh. He pedaled so fast that there were times when it was hard to keep up with him. It was incredible that he never dropped a bottle, no matter how fast he pedaled. Tyler, Zach and Josh knew it took practice to be that good. Jimmy was amused by the antics of the slippery seal. The seal would flip the ball backwards and then, with his hind flippers, smack it right back to the tip of his nose. Everyone loved watching the seal clap after each trick he performed. Tyler, Zach and Josh had fun imitating his funny, barking noises. The acrobatic troupe was next. Their tumbling and flipping routines had the crowd cheering. Jimmy was enjoying his place of honor, but was really tickled when the driver told him he would have a chance to watch the entire parade pass him as each act entered the big top circus tent. A majestic lion with all his marvelous mane was in the last wagon. He was so-o-o-o big, and his roar was so-o-o loud that Jimmy could hear him from the very front of the parade. The mild-mannered monkeys on top of his cage did not seem at all frightened of the ferocious feline. The fire truck stopped at the entrance of the big top circus tent. Jimmy talked to the circus stars as they went inside. It made him feel like an important star to be so close to them. Then Jimmy joined Tyler, Zach and Josh in his special section inside the tent. When the circus was over, Jimmy was escorted outside by the mayor and the ringmaster. Jimmy did not want this special day to end. As he turned to look one last time, some performers were waving goodbye. Jimmy waved back and smiled, for he knew he would never forget the day he led THE BIG PARADE! Jimmy Wigent In THE BIG PARADE, there were many different characters.
