Sad Clowns: Myth or Reality?
A clown is an entertainer, especially in the circus, who wears funny clothes and special make-up, often with a large painted smile and a red plastic nose. A clown tries to make people laugh by jokes, tricks or actions. However, it is often said that people who work as clowns are really sad persons, underneath all that make-up and acting.
