However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on
tires. He began to notice that the people were paying more attention to
the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his

the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top

behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and

clown soon found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and
suddenly he heard a voice from the lion's mouth;
"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?".

wanted to save all of his money for his own future. He was a real miser
when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about
anything.
Even, just before he died, he said to his wife; "Now listen, when I die, I
want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna
take my money to the afterlife." So he asked his wife to promise him with
all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket
with him.
Well, one day, he really died. Then he was stretched out in the casket. The
wife was sitting there in black clothes next to her closest friend. When
they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close
the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!" She had a box in her hands.
She came over with the box and placed it in the casket. After that the
undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Not long after that,
her friend said, "I hope you were not crazy enough to put all that money in
the casket."
The wife turned to her friend and replied; "Yes, because I have promised."
Then she continued; "I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put
that money in that casket with him." Feeling shocked, her friend said; "You
mean that you have put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
Then the wife answered; "Surely I did. I got it all together, put all the
money into my account and I just wrote him a check."
