Lily and Ben were very happy. They had a ticket to see a funny show with clowns and animals. They held their mom's hand and walked to the big tent. They saw many people and colors and balloons.
"Look, mom, a big elephant!" Ben said, pointing to a gray animal with a long nose.
"And a funny monkey!" Lily said, laughing at a brown animal with a long tail.
They found their seats and waited for the show to start. They heard music and saw lights. They clapped their hands and cheered.
The show was very funny. The clowns made jokes and tricks. The animals did silly things. Lily and Ben laughed and laughed. They liked the show very much.
But then, something went wrong. One of the clowns tripped and fell. He dropped a big cake on his face. The cake was not real. It was made of foam and paint. The clown was not hurt. He was just messy.
The other clowns laughed at him. They tried to help him, but they made more mess. They threw pies and water and confetti. They slipped and slid and bumped.
Lily and Ben laughed even more. They thought it was part of the show. They thought it was the funniest thing ever.
But their mom did not laugh. She did not think it was funny. She thought it was a disaster. She looked at her ticket and saw something. She saw a small word that she had missed before. It said: "Warning: This show may contain accidents and surprises. Enjoy at your own risk."
She sighed and shook her head. She wished she had read the ticket more carefully. She hoped the show would end soon. She hoped the clowns would clean up. She hoped the cake would not stain her clothes.
