Interview with Clown President of the Top Section
“Thank you so much for having us, Great Clown.”
The Great Clown from Above had a huge smile. He wore a huge white, bulging pair of trousers that came big to him. To prevent him from dropping it, he had it securely fastened with red elastic straps, although to the misfortune of Peter and Corinne, the Great Clown was not wearing his usual red nose on that occasion, which he only wore in public.
“Oh, oh, oh, boy, stop treating me with so much respect. I'm just a clown.”
Corinne couldn't focus the lens well; she was very nervous. Her friends would die of envy when they knew she had met the Great Clown from Above.
“Of course, sir,” Peter apologized.
“Just call me, Clown Smith. We reserved the word ‘sir’ for the elderly.”
“Of course, Clown Smith.”
“Awesome. You want a lollipop?”
Corinne accepted the great multicolored lollipop.
“I remember the history classes where they put us in exciting documentaries. After the end of the great plague of smokers, the world got deserted. Only 25% of the population survived. The sectors with the most smokers were swept from the planet: lawyers, politicians, computer scientists, construction workers, taxi drivers and the unemployed. Curiously, within the circus sector, very healthy people, the clowns survived. They represented the lowest rate of smokers. After the great crisis, the clowns of the world joined forces and thanks to them we are still here.”
