I am a Clown
Hi there! My name is Sweet Violet. No, no, that's not my real name. This is my
stage name, as I am a clown. I chose this name as my favourite colour is purple.
I have a fascinating job and I perform in many different places and meet a lot of
different people. I perform in the streets of villages and towns. At the circus with my friends, Milly Dinny and Pongo Mongo my clown dog. But the place I love
most is the hospitals where I meet many sick people and children. There I enjoy making these children enjoy themselves, laugh and see them happy. Sometimes I go to children's parties too!
It takes me a long time to prepare and get dressed up. I love to paint my face with bright colours on my eyes. I use bright red for the nose and lips. It takes over an hour to finish. I also like to wear colourful wigs, big shoes and my colourful bag which opens out when it feels like! All my stuff comes out when it opens and all the children laugh their hearts out! At some other times I use my water flower which squirts out water. I wear various colourful outfits. My favourite outfit is orange with a lot of ribbons and a fluffy skirt, with spotted tights.
I enjoy it most when I perform in hospitals and watch the children enjoy themselves. One day at the children's hospital a very unhappy girl suddenly burst out laughing when Pongo Mongo ran up on her bed with my sock in his mouth! I felt so happy! This is why I love being a clown!!
