Bella wants to be a clown, but she’s a cow! Rooster, Pig, and Horse laugh
when Bella tells them her dream, so she sneaks away to join the circus.
Bella proves to the clowns she is moo-larious, and they welcome her into
their act. As the star of the show, Bella should be happy, but she misses
her friends on the farm. Will she choose circus stardom, or her farm-animal
friends?
