The Corrupt Clown ☺
It was early in the morning. The corrupt (1) DICTATOR was getting ready to
(2) DICTATE or say the words in the (3)DICTIONARY to some young children. He
knew he had to get their attention and set a (4)PRECEDENCE or rule so that he could
better control them. He thought of the perfect idea. He dressed as a clown! Once they
saw him, there was a (5) PROCESSION of screaming kids running forward in the street.
The screaming was a clear (6)INDICATOR that showed they were afraid!
Hearing the children scream, Superman’s (7) PREDECESSOR The Hulk leapt into
action! He showed his (8)DEDICATION to helping others by calling the pope. The
pope arrived and The Hulk gently picked him up so he could give a (9)benediction or
blessing.
In the end, the dictator was arrested. He was forced to (10)ABDICATE or resign from
his position of power. He went to court where he received an (11) INDICTMENT
charging him with “clownery.”
