Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play and laugh. They are jolly children. One day, they go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see a big slide and a swing. They run to the slide and take turns to slide down. Whee!
"Look, Ben, a clown!" Lily says. She points to a man with a red nose and a funny hat. He is making jokes and balloons for the children. Ben and Lily go to see him. He gives them each a balloon. Lily gets a pink flower and Ben gets a green frog.
"Hello, little ones. Do you like jokes?" the clown asks. He smiles and winks.
"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily say.
"OK, then. Here is a joke for you. What do you get when you cross a frog and a flower?" the clown says.
Ben and Lily think hard. They shake their heads.
"I don't know," Lily says.
"Me neither," Ben says.
The clown laughs. "You get a hoppy bouquet!" he says. He makes a sound like a frog. "Ribbit, ribbit!"
Ben and Lily giggle. They think the joke is funny. They clap their hands.
"That's a good joke!" Ben says.
"Thank you, clown!" Lily says.
"You're welcome, little ones. Enjoy your balloons. And remember, always be jolly!" the clown says. He waves and walks away.
Ben and Lily hug their balloons. They are happy. They go back to Mom and Dad. They tell them about the joke and the clown. Mom and Dad smile and hug them.
"Are you hungry, Ben and Lily?" Mom asks.
"Yes, we are!" Ben and Lily say.
"Good. Let's go and eat some sandwiches and cookies. Then we can play some more," Dad says.
Ben and Lily nod. They follow Mom and Dad. They hold their balloons. They are jolly children. They like to play and laugh. They like jokes and clowns. They like to eat sandwiches and cookies. They like the park. They like Mom and Dad. They like each other. They are happy. The end.
