You only had to touch his hair a little bit and he would start laughing. When this ticklish laughter started, no one could make him stop. Pete tried everything to control his ticklishness, but nothing worked. So he began to feel sad for being different.One day in the street, he met a special clown. The clown was very old and could hardly walk, but when he saw Pete in tears, he went to cheer him up. It didnt take long to make Pete laugh. Later Pete told him about his ticklish problem, and he asked the clown how such an old man could carry on being a clown.“I have no one to take my place,” said the clown. “I have a very serious job to do.” Pete looked at him, surprised. “Come, Ill show you,” said the clown. So the clown took Pete to many hospitals full of children who were sick. As soon as they saw the clown, their faces changed completely and lit up with a smile. Their short while spent with the clown changed everything for them. That day was even more special, because in every show Petes laughter would end up with the kids lying on the floor, dying with laughter. When the visit came to an end, the old clown said to Pete, “Now do you see why I cant retire (退休), even at my age?”That was how Pete became a clown, and took the special old mans place.
