Narrative Writing

The Clown and the Brothers.

One day there was a Clown that was on a hill riding his bike. While he was riding his bike, there were two boys that came up to him and took his balloon and stuck it in a tree.

The Clown was really upset about this so he confronted the two brothers that took his balloon and he fought the brothers and got his balloon back and went back home.

The next day we went to the park and this time, the Clown had two balloons, and his bike. He rode around for a little bit and noticed that the two brothers came back.

They were angered by the clown for taking the balloons back so instead of taking the balloons, they ran away with his bike.

He tried to chase them but they were to fast.

So he decided to make up a plan to get his bike back so he went back home. The next day he went out to go get his bike back. He found the two brothers and went over to talk to them. They still had his bike. So he asked the two brothers if they could give back the bike. They refused to give his bike back.

So the Clown decided to call the police for the two boys to give the bike back to the Clown. The police found the two boys, and gave them a warning, and told them to not take his bike again.

They said to the Police Officer and gave back the bike to the Clown. They apologize to the Clown for taking his bike and they both walked away. After a while the Police Officer left, The Clown walked home. The day after that, he decided to bring a lunch with him for the park. When he got to the park the other boys were causing trouble even though they got a warning by the police.

The Clown ran to them and told them both to stop. Instead of doing so, they took his lunch. He was really angry about them, so he ran over to them again and fought them.

They next day, the clown heard a knock on the door and it was the two boys. They wanted to apologize for the things they have done to him. He gave them a chance, and forgave them. They all got along with each other well. But one day, the brothers were causing trouble. The clown told them to stop but they both said no. Because they both betrayed the Clown. He was very upset about it until he called the Cops and they both got arrested for causing and doing bad things. The Clown never saw them again.
