that Is one reason why the glamour Of

all the generations. despite their lack Of
any really admirable traits of character

when a man dressed up in all those
trinkets really is brave ana wise his
courage and ability seem all the more

There is only one place in which the
same old phrases and speeches can be
used year after year. decade after decade
generation after generation. and produce
precisely the same effect every time. and
that place is the circus The circus clown

We saw in our childhood. and he relieves
himself of the same old jokes, and we
like them and laugh at them. But that is
because We are all children when we 90
