As I sat in the circus with my sister, I waited for the show to begin. I was elated since I had never been to a circus before. I didn’t even know what to expect. As if my uncertainty cued the show to begin, a clown walked onto the stage. He wore giant red hair, enormous boots, a baby costume, and white makeup on his face. He was no more than a clown, a fool.

An instance of lying to people is when a fool might declare an early yet false date of an upcoming test. For instance, I remember one day when I announced to my friends that the science test would be tomorrow, even though it was scheduled for a week after. This caused them to freak out, something that I found very humorous. Fools enjoy life one day at a time. They don’t stress over the small things that are in the future.

They would simply attend class every day and listen to the lectures given by teachers. On test day, they would sit down to take the test without stressing. Finally, fools appreciate freedom and joy. They believe that in life, it is important to stop and relax. However, they also know that freedom is very significant in a person’s lifestyle. Freedom utterly means that one has the right to express themselves in any shape or form, without causing harm to others. This is one thing that they desire. Overall, fools are very silly
