Mr Clown
He is about five feet three inches high,
his head is half-bald and remaining hairs are gray,
though original color of the hairs was dark brown.
He wares mustache that both ends are pointed
and rolled up like Kaiser Wilhelm; however,
his mustache is somewhat thinner than that of Kaiser’s.
He has brown eyes and sharply nose.
Although he is a short, his body structure is upper range of
medium built. He is not wearing glasses in his daily routine;
nevertheless, he wears glasses while he is working
at bench. In addition to the glasses he even wears
a pair of goggle type magnifiers on his forehead.
When he talks, he slightly shakes his head.
And if he is in exiting mood, he even shakes more.
He was a forsaken child brought up in a slum.
He was an abandoned child never knew the parents’ love.
Nonetheless, his most unique characteristic that makes him different from others is that he loves to play a clown, because his heart is filled with tears that to be hidden behind thickly-painted makeup; because his heart is full of concealed grudges that to be glossed over with the funny gesture.
