Giggles the Good Clown  Once upon a time, in a small, colorful town, there lived a clown named Giggles. Giggles loved to play tricks on people and make fun of them. He thought he was being funny, so he laughed loudly at everyone he met. But the townspeople didn’t find it funny at all. They thought Giggles was annoying and started to avoid him. Whenever Giggles walked by, people would turn around and go the other way. Children stopped coming to his magic shows, and no one invited him to parties. This made Giggles feel lonely and sad. One day, as Giggles sat alone by the big oak tree, he saw a little bird that couldn’t fly. It had hurt its wing. Giggles decided to help.
