Jolly life.
1t was after the afternoon perform
ance that he and his clown friend had
q talk.
"0f course you can join the circus
IL you want to do so," the clown told
him. "We'd be delighted to have you.
And you can play in the band too.
"Of course you couldn't do that for
quite q time. You would have to learn
first and you would have to practice
for quite 4 long time before you would
be abhe to do anything in public"
But you make Mistakes" Sammy
said. Surely you don't have to prac-
tice?'
I'VE don't eh?" the clown said, as he
laughed. MY dear young man (and
Sammy felt most importantly we have
to know how to play or we wouldn't be
can't have stupid mistakes-we have
to make really funny mistakes and we
have to know how to play in order to
do that"
Sammy looked amazed. SWELL" he
said, II don't suppose I'd have to prac-
tice hard, and then too it would be
fun to always be making people laugh"
II think that tso." the clown said,
except when I have the toothache. I
must admit I don't enjoy hearing them
laugh then. One day had an awful
toothache. / could hardly bear the
pain. I just called out to the people
too and l said, How dare you laugh
at me when I have an liberated tooth ?
And they laughed still harder. They
thought it was joke. And the same
thing happened when I stubbed my
toe!"
Sammy was allowed to stay behind
the scenes during the evening perform
ance. He did not want to be seen by
any of his companions in the tent. And
he felt 1t would be so exciting back of
the scenes. But as each performer
came out after each act was over there
was nothing but hurrying and a sour
=" rying to get ready to pack up and 60
to the next place. .-..-..
aren't you going to bed first?''
Sammy asked. And then he realized
what foolish question he had asked
Tor, OF course, the circus always left
town the same night. '<Win you have
rest tomorrow to make up for trav.
cling tonight" Sammy asked. He was
feeling very sleepy. ii
aWe'n rest on the train" he was
totd, "but we will have to get up EARL.

morning. Oh, well, it's the good old
