“Magical laugh” was the name of the now abandoned and closed orphanage that the, now crazy, man used to live in. Every day for Krust was filled with torment. He was bullied for his unusual appearance: a slightly bigger, redder nose, large sized feet and his slim and tall figure. All the children would laugh and call him a badly built clown. With time even his name was made fun of because it so closely resembled a character clown from a cartoon.
Poor Krust tried to fight his everyday torments without anyone helping him. One day he couldn’t take it anymore and ran away. No one really missed Krust and his unusual appearance, thus he was soon forgotten.
One day, after several months of Krust’s escape a mysterious man visited the orphanage. He introduced himself as one of the clowns from a traveling circus called “The circus of the rising sun” and the purpose of his visit was to invite the orphans to the circus show. No one from the orphanage, not even the caretakers knew of such fancy named circus so, they all gladly welcomed the guest and accepted the invitation. The show ended being very poor and left the children unhappy.
