       Early that evening, Oscar was with Doctor Carmona sitting in the Presidential Booth, waiting for the show to begin. They were in the midst of the rest the guests, who also had arrived a little before the show was to start.

     The night’s program was presented by Oswaldo, as he was the eldest of the Garcia Brothers. Oscar expected him to be dressed in the typical long coat and tall top hat. His expectation included a fireman red coat combined with white pants, tucked into shiny, dark black tall boots. Though he had never assisted to a circus as a kid, on too many occasions, he had seen images that represented how the traditional Circus Master of Ceremonies should dress.

     He was entirely taken back when he saw Oswaldo appear when the harsh and bright spotlights converged on him in the middle of the center ring. Riding on Azlan’s back, his presence was absolutely stunning, more so, for he was arrayed in a typical Mexican Gala Charro suit!
