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.
