Cautiously emerging from his hiding spot, Peppy surveyed his surroundings. The forest was rich in fiddlehead ferns and tall trees that made room for the sun to illuminate the forest floor. With a newfound resolve, he set off on one of these paths deeper into the woods, where new sounds and dangers awaited.
Peppy found a momentary respite in a sunlit clearing but soon realized he was surrounded by a group of people who could exploit him. As he tried to back away, he was captured and found himself back in a chicken crate, restrained and vulnerable. His captors, Frank and Harry, took him to the L.V. Spectavelli Circus and Hippodrome in Baltimore, where a woman named Sweetie offered them half the payment for Peppy, citing his poor condition.
Despite their protests, the men left with half the agreed amount, while Sweetie promised Peppy a good home. She introduced herself warmly, marking the end of Peppy's harrowing journey and the beginning of a new chapter.
Thanks for listening to Circus Jack. We look forward to seeing you in the next episode. And remember that whether it's a cloudy day or a sunny day, it's always a good day. Make it yours. See you soon.
