Chipper the Clown tells the story of a man who remembers his childhood dreams of only wanting to make people laugh. So he packs up his things and goes off to join the circus as a clown. Then he is embarrassed when he finds out he isn’t good at it. Nobody thinks he’s funny. Who ever heard of a clown in a pinstriped suit? So what will Chipper do? He turns to the older, more experienced clowns for some good advice. This story is about the benefits of asking the right people for help and not giving up when following a dream.
