24He wrote _**JOKES**_ on the top of a page in his notebook.
25He had run out of notecards and hadn't been able to convince his mother to go to the Office Supply Store for him.
26He left a space underneath it and wrote.
27
28_"[Tell us a joke][]" the listeners say to the clown.
29They have gather together in the clearing because they have heard he would be there, and they have heard he knew very funny jokes that were also true.
30"Tell us a joke that is true" they say._
31
32_The clown does not move from the stump.
33He doesn't move at all.
34The listeners watch, gap-mouthed, as a butterfly lands on his hat.
35A breeze ruffles his coat and the butterfly flies away.
36Hours pass.
37The listeners grow impatient.
38Some begin yelling insults at the clown.
39Eventually, they begin to walk away into the woods._
40
41_The moon [rises][] on the clearing.
42The only people left are the clown and a listener, the [last listener][].
43She has been waiting for the joke a long time.
44The clown opens his mouth and she leans in closer to hear.
45He closes it as a tear falls onto his coat, then another.
46He opens his mouth again in a sob.
47The listener walks over to him and puts a hand on his shoulder._
48
49_"I'm sorry" says the clown.
50"Sorry for what" she asks.
51"I don't know.
52I don't know any jokes."
53He disappears.
54The last listener sits on the log and looks at the sky.
55There are no [stars][]._
