by Ana Maria Shua

“Just like Hercules!” say the well-read spectators when the strongman lifts a
horse and rider with one hand. “Like Hercules!” say others, when the
strongman stops an advancing semitruck with his chest. “It’s Hercules!”
exclaims a young lady who thinks she recognizes him as she watches him
handle a bull and lion with his bare hands. But it’s not Hercules. Tired of his
boring and secret (but necessary!) job, Atlas has decided to try the easy feats
and applause of the circus. At exactly 7:00 p.m., when the fIrst star comes out,
the heavens will permanently fall.
In one sentence, summarize the
entire passage quickly.
What time will the heavens fall?

What animals does Atlas handle?

What do the spectators call Atlas?


What do you think will happen at
7:00 p.m.? Continue the story.
What does “boring and secret
(but necessary!)” suggest about
Atlas’s feelings?

Why do you think he wants


“applause”?
