Joker

Joker show was the most famous of all shows in that circus. Many people travelled from far places, merely to watch this show.

It was a saturday, and naturally the crowd was higher than other days. Circus show started shortly as the seats filled much soon.

In a few minutes after the show began, many kids started crying, naturally as kids would, in a new environment.

That little blonde kid who sat next to Vani, also started crying. Her(kid) mother's attempts to console the kid ended up in vain. Vani quickly opened her handbag and took out a chocolate that she had, and offered it to the kid. The kid slowly gathered courage and took it from her hand, and smiled. The mother looked thankfully at Vani.

“Oh.. your kid looks to be a very sweet one, she doesn't cry.. !!”, she remarked looking at Vani's daughter, who was happily enjoying the circus.

As all the other shows in the circus were over, the final biggest attraction – “The Joker Show” began. Many parents awakened their kids who had started sleeping by then, for them to enjoy the buffooon show. The show was so good, that even those kids who were crying, stopping their crying, and enjoyed it, clapping their hands and jumping.

Vani had to come out of the circus, as her daughter suddenly started crying loudly and incessantly, not heeding to any of her attempts to console. She stood near the entrance with her daughter, trying to console her and stop her tears. The daughter slowly calmed after sometime.

In a few minutes, the day's show was all over, and the audience were happily coming out with huge smiles, with glee after watching one of the best Joker shows ever in their life.

The lady who sat next to Vani, also came out with her kid, smiling. It was visible that she had enjoyed the show well. Seeing Vani standing at the entrance, she waved her hand.

“Hey hi. Sorry that you could not enjoy the Joker show. Surprising that your daughter started sobbing during the Joker show, which was quite enjoyable”, she said.

Vani answered with a calm smile adorning her lips, “Oh.. she was taken down seeing him jump from so high a place. He is her father.”
