A clown in a circus was tired of always having to make others laugh when he was feeling sad. He decided to try being a lion tamer, trapeze artist, and strongman instead to see if those jobs would be more enjoyable even when feeling down. However, when he tried to tame the lions they scared him and he ran away. His attempts at being a trapeze artist and strongman also went badly, causing the audience to laugh more. After this, he decided to continue being a clown to make others laugh.
