The Three-Legged Hootch Dancer (Tales of the Galactic Midway Series #2)

by Mike Resnick

Overview

The carnival is traveling among the stars, and finding all kinds of problems that Thaddeus Flint and his crew didn't anticipate. What use is a wild animal tamer when the audience looks more like the animals than the trainer. Who would pay to watch Butterfly Delight perform her striptease when to many of them it seems like an unappetizing snake shedding its skin? One by one, Flint and his alien partner, Mr. Ahazuerus, must tackle each problem before the show goes broke.
