Clowns Are Fun
Clowns like to make people laugh. They paint their faces and put on funny noses. Sometimes they put on a sad face but most of the time they put on a happy face. They also wear funny clothes.
Most clowns work in circuses. They do all kinds of silly things to make the audience laugh. They run, jump, fall down, turn somersaults, and roll over. They ride donkeys backwards. They push each other in wagons or wheelbarrows.Sometimes they shout and sing. Clowns are funny men, and occasionally, women, too! A circus is not a circus without clowns !
Children especially enjoy watching clowns.A clown named cookie often visits hospitals to entertain sick children as well as older people. Sick people need to laugh, which helps them to get better faster.
There is an old saying: "Laughter is good medicine."

小丑真有趣
小丑喜欢逗人乐。他们给脸涂上颜色，戴上逗人的鼻子。有时他们把脸画得很悲哀，但大多数情况还是画成快乐的样子。他们还要穿上可笑的衣服。
大部分小丑在马戏团演出。他们扮各种傻事来逗观众乐：跑呀，跳呀，摔倒呀，翻跟头，打翻滚。他们还倒骑毛驴，在四轮车上或独轮车上你推我，我推你，又叫又唱的。小丑一般是滑稽的男人，偶尔也有女人!马戏团要是没有小丑就不叫马戏团了!
孩子们尤其喜欢看小丑表演。一个名叫厨师的小丑经常去医院把快乐带给有病的小孩和老人们。病人需要笑口常开，这样可以恢复得快些。
俗话说：“笑就是良药”。
