Once,in a circus show, a clown fell down from the stage and his head hit the floor severely.   With the broken teeth and bloody face, he was so painful that his facial expression was contored deeply.Then after a while, the crowd bursted into a loud laughter, for his exaggerated performance and realistic props.  However, there was a little girl,only one.She kept pulling her mother's sleeve and said,"Mom,mom,the clown was crying!"  But , no one heard her,no one...

Mark, very touching story. Kids have the 6 th sense to feel everything. It's their magic. With years, hassles and bustles of everyday life, that sense of reading a person  disappears.

This story about a clown reminded me a poem by the Russian poet A.Dementiev, Dolphin. It says about a dolphin who is swimming wounded by the boat propellers. He is very desperate and all in pain in hope that someone would help him. People on the shore spot him, but they are not aware of his problem. They're just  fascinated how "playfull" he is. Then he starts disappearing under the waves going down down to the bottom of the sea. People soon forget about him and go back to their daily activities on the beach and only a boy continues watching the sea montionlessly. He knows that something is wrong...
