Jim Winston was a normal boy who lived in a house though he was an orphan and his adoptive parents hated him. He learned how to be happy. Every day after school he would go home and play with his cat whom he loved very much. But one day his adoptive mother said to Jim "The cat is old Jim we are going to have to put it down".

Jim was very sad after this so he didn't smile for a whole year. During this time his birthday was coming up. He was going to be 11 years old. So new ideas and thoughts came into his head like clowns. Jim had always thought Clowns were frightening but recently he started to want to become a clown. His adoptive parents did not like this though and shunned and beat him if he ever said a word about clowns.

But in secret, he started to love them and on the day of his 11th birthday, he blew out his candles and wished to become a clown. "You will be a businessman just like me when you are older," his adoptive dad said "but I don't want to be a businessman father! I want to be a clown"!

With this, his father went into a fiery rage! And flipped over the table with the cake and was about to smack Jim! But then all of a sudden a big burly man busted through the wall! He was a clown! Jim's adoptive parents looked up at the big clown. His chest hair was hanging out and he wore a giant bow tie and his nose was a ball and he honked it. AWOOGA his nose made and then he said: "Hello Jim my boy"! he said with a big clowny laugh. "How you have grown to be such a big boy! I am Nimmy the Clown at your service"!

Then Jim's adoptive mother yelled "You're not going to pervert my adopted son into becoming a clown! He will be a painter just like me"! Jim then said, "I don't want to be a painter adoptive mother! I want to be a clown! It has been my dream for a whole year" Both of Jim's adoptive parents were shocked and horrified. His adoptive dad said "Why are you like this?! I raised you to be a businessman, not a clown! Where did you learn this from"? Nimmy spoke again "You can lock him up in a padded room for 100 years but he would still want to be a clown! It's in his blood he has the clown genetics"!

Jim jumped up in shock and said "Does that mean that my real parents were clowns"!? Nimmy said "You're a clown Jim! And you must come with me to Finklebody's School of Clowns and Clowning around"! Jim said, "Yes of course I will come with you to Finklebody's and I will become a clown"!

So Jim and Nimmy walked out of the broken wall to the front lawn and Nimmy showed Jim his very small bicycle and they both got on it. "WAIT"! Yelled Jim's adoptive dad "You can't go to clown school without our permission"! then Nimmy took out his horn and honked at them then they fell dead "Off to clown school Jim! Here we go"! Then the tiny bicycle was lifted off the ground with clown magic and they were now flying off to Clown World!
