Clem the clown<br />
Clem the clown was always glad and filled with glee. But<br />
today, she was glum and grumpy.<br />
Clem peered out of the big top. A big crowd was waiting<br />
to see her. Clem aimed to act silly to see them grin. But<br />
she did not feel very funny today.<br />
‘I look floppy and clumsy,’ sighed Clem. ‘I am not as<br />
skilled as the rest of the artists. Swinging up high is not for<br />
me. I do not wish to zoom in a blur and fall into a net.’<br />
‘I look floppy and clumsy,’ moaned Clem. ‘I am not as<br />
plucky as the rest of the artists. I have no whip or stool. I<br />
cannot train the big cats. My legs will not flex and bend to<br />
fit into a box.’<br />
‘I look floppy and clumsy!’ wailed Clem. ‘I am not as slick as<br />
the rest of the artists. I cannot flip or clip-clop on a horse. I<br />
cannot toss flags and clubs or spin a dish and hoop.’<br />
‘I look floppy and clumsy!’ howled Clem. ‘I do not stand on<br />
a block in a red and black cloak. I do not have a tall top<br />
hat and a horn. I do not tell the crowd what the next act<br />
will be.’<br />

‘We are all skilled,’ said the artists. ‘But we cannot do what<br />
you do!’ Clem felt her cheeks blush. ‘We think your act is<br />
the best. You are funny when you flip and flop. You make<br />
us all happy. The crowd claps and cheers for you. They<br />
paid a lot to see you act silly in the big top tent.’<br />
Clem felt lucky as she set off to join her good friends in<br />
the ring.<br />
