She lived in a cozy house with a big garden, where she grew her own flowers and fruits. She was happy and content, but sometimes she felt lonely. She wished she had a friend to share her dreams and treats with.
She woke up to find a clown who was crying on her doorstep. He had a red nose, a blue wig, and a yellow suit. He also had a big bag of balloons and a small cone of ice cream. He looked like he had just come from a party, but he was not in a festive mood. He was sad and lost. He had forgotten his way home.
“Who are you?” asked Clever Cat.
“I’m Bobo the Clown,” sobbed the clown. “But I don’t feel like laughing anymore. I can’t remember where I live. I’m confused.”
Clever Cat felt sorry for the clown. She knew how it felt to be confused and lost. She had once wandered away from her home, and had spent a whole day looking for it. She had been scared and hungry, until she had found her way back. She decided to help the clown. She invited him inside her house, and gave him a cup of tea and a slice of cake. She asked him some questions, and tried to jog his memory. She was clever and patient, and soon she found out where the clown lived.
“In a circus caravan?” said Clever Cat.
“That’s it!” said the clown, finishing off his ice cream with Clever Cat.
The clown was overjoyed. He hugged Clever Cat, and thanked her for her kindness. He asked her to come with him to the circus, where he could introduce her to his friends. He said he had never met anyone like her before. He said she was the best friend he ever had.
Clever Cat was delighted. She agreed to go with the clown to the circus. She packed her bags, and took some of her flowers and fruits with her. She said goodbye to her house and garden, and followed the clown to his caravan. She was curious and excited, and looked forward to seeing new places and meeting new people. She said she had never met anyone like him before. She said he was the best friend she ever had.
They left Muffinville, and headed to the circus. They had a lot of fun along the way, telling jokes and stories, playing games and tricks, singing songs and dancing. They learned a lot from each other, and became closer and closer. They realized that they had more in common than they thought. They both loved sweets, laughter, and adventure. They both hated boredom, sadness, and loneliness. They both needed a friend to share their life with.
They arrived at the circus, where they were welcomed by the other clowns, acrobats, jugglers, and animals. They joined the show, and entertained the crowds with their skills and humor. They made everyone happy, especially themselves. They found their home, and their happiness, in each other.“Not very likely,” said the clown. “Cottages are small and cozy. They don’t have wheels or curtains either. And they stay in one place.”
“Come on,” said Clever Cat. “Think harder. What else can you tell me about your home?”
The clown scratched his head, and then said, “It’s noisy and fun. It has music and laughter. It’s full of animals and people.”
“How about a circus caravan?” said Clever Cat.
“That’s it!” said the clown, jumping up and down. “That’s where I live. A circus caravan. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re so clever. How can I ever repay you?”
“Well,” said Clever Cat, licking her lips. “You could share your ice cream with me.”
“Of course,” said the clown, smiling. “Anything for you, my friend. Come on, let’s go to the circus. Maybe we can find some ice-cream, cakes, buns, and biscuits there too.”
They left the house, and followed the signs to the circus. They saw a big tent, with flags and banners. They heard the sound of drums and trumpets. They smelled the popcorn and candy floss. They felt the excitement and joy.
They entered the tent, and saw a crowd of people. They also saw a man with a top hat and a whip. He was the Ring Master, the boss of the circus. He was not very happy to see the clown.
“Where have you been, Bobo?” he shouted. “You’re late for the show. And who is this furry creature with you?”
“This is Clever Cat, my new friend,” said the clown. “She helped me find my way home. She’s very smart and kind.”
“I don’t care about your friend,” said the Ring Master. “I only care about the show. And the show must go on. Now, get ready for your act. And don’t mess it up, or else.”
“Or else what?” asked Clever Cat.
“Or else you’ll be sorry,” said the Ring Master, cracking his whip.
The clown and the cat were scared, but they did not show it. They decided to do their best, and have some fun. They put on their costumes and makeup, and joined the other performers. They did some amazing tricks and stunts, such as juggling, balancing, tumbling, and flying. They made everyone laugh and clap, especially themselves. They also played some pranks on the Ring Master, such as popping his balloons, stealing his hat, and tickling his nose. They made him look silly and angry, which made everyone laugh and clap even more.
The show was a success, and the crowd loved it. They cheered and applauded, and threw some coins and flowers. The clown and the cat were happy and proud. They had done a great job, and had a lot of fun. They also had a surprise for the Ring Master.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” said the clown, bowing to the crowd. “You’re so wonderful. How can we ever repay you?”
“Well,” said the cat, winking at the clown. “You could share your ice-cream, cakes, buns, and biscuits with us.”
“Of course,” said the crowd, smiling. “Anything for you, our friends. Come on, let’s go to the snack bar. We have plenty of treats for you.”
They left the tent, and followed the crowd to the snack bar. They saw a lot of delicious food and drinks. They smelled the chocolate and vanilla. They felt the hunger and thirst.
They ate and drank, and shared their stories and jokes. They made some new friends, and had a good time. They also gave some treats to the Ring Master, who was not very happy, but had to pretend to be nice.
The Ring Master gave them ice-cream, cakes, buns, and biscuits, which cheered them up. He also gave them a hug and a smile, which surprised them. He said he was sorry for being mean, and that he was glad they were part of his circus. He said they were the best performers he ever had.
The clown and the cat were touched, and thanked him for his kindness. They said they were sorry for being naughty, and that they were glad they were part of his circus. They said he was the best Ring Master they ever had.
They found their home, and their happiness, in each other.
