I have always been interested in clowns(小丑).The earliest thing I can remember,as a child of three,is seeing a pair of clowns梠ne is very fat,the other is very 1 ndline.A traveling circus(马戏团) came to our town and my parents took me to see it.When we arrived at the circus,egeryone was laughing at the clowns.I didn't un-derstand why they were laughing,2 ndline I laughed,too.
While I was 3 ndline,the fat clown came and sat down next to me.“Shall we dance?”he asked,then 4 ndline me up and began dancing.I felt frightened and I began to cry.5 ndline then I have been interested in clowns.They make me laugh a lot,although they still make me a bit 6 ndline too.
In life,we sometimes laugh at things that 7 ndline us.We often laugh most at people who make us nervous.When we laugh,we relax and 8 ndline ourselves.People who never laugh can become worried and ill.
Laughter is like medicine and a clown is like a 9 ndline.
There have always been,and there will always be clowns,because people need to laugh.Laughter is the best kind of 10 ndline in life.
