So, he did not get out in time to see the Circus Parade, and when he got to the Circus Tent he was too late. Crowds were turned away.
He went back home and sat down on the wood pile, and was feeling very sad when to his surprise, a merry voice called:
Danny-Do-Little and the Clown
“If you just sit still and frown,
You can’t entertain a Circus Clown.”
There, sure enough, stood a regular Clown on his head, beside him!
Danny-Do-Little was so surprised he did not know what to say, and waited until the Clown stood on his feet, then he remarked:
“If you’re a Clown from Circus Town,
How did you get here in striped gown?”
