Robert Welks shut his alarm clock and put his clothes on. He went downstairs to eat breakfast and called out to his mom, "Mom I'm going to work!" Robbie left the house, jumped on his bike, and left. Robbie took a summer job at the nearby circus to earn some extra cash. He pulled up to the circus, smelling the fresh snacks. He chained his bike and ran into the carnival. He passed some circus performed and finally he arrived at the back of the carnival where a big white and red tent stood. "Hello?" Robbie called out. Soon Robbie heard a high pitched squeak and saw a tiny blue clown car approaching him in the middle of the tent. The car stopped and he door opened revealing a tall whiteface clown. He had milky white skin with red diamonds covering each eye. He had thick high arching eyebrows and his hair was neon orange and curled around the side of his head. He wore a yellow and pink polka for jumpsuit and had a red and white polka dot bow tie and ruffles around his collar wrists and legs. His shoes were long red shoes with yellow laces. "Hiya! I'm Dotto the clown! Nice to meet ya!" Dotto stuck out his hand which was covered by a white glove. "You must be Robert. Well Rob, first thing j need you to do is run down to the little corner store in Chinatown and grab a special item. Tell the man Dotto sent you he'll understand. Got it?" Robbie frantically nodded his head and left. He quickly ran to the shop called "Little Tokyo" and entered it. Behind the register was a tall lanky man. "How can I help you?" He asked. "I'm here to pick up something. I'm supposed to say Dotto sent me." The man nodded his head and brought out a bag. He handed it to Robbie and said "Be careful. Don't play with it." Robbie snatched the bag and left back to the circus. He handed the bag to Dotto who said, "thanks for bringing me some extra clown ointment. Now as a trainee I'm going to turn you into a clown! Whattya say kiddo?"
