November 5th, the international day of clowns, began just like any other day for young Jake. He woke up, got ready for work, and walked to the main door of his house.

There, he found a strange looking clown nose. Curiosity piqued, he picked it up and examined it. It was red, shiny, and felt rubbery to touch.

On a whim, Jake put the clown nose on. Suddenly, he felt a rush of energy and then he was no longer Jake, but a tall, fat clown!

His clothes transformed into a colorful clown outfit complete with suspenders and gigantic shoes. He looked at himself in the mirror and was shocked at his reflection.

Not just his looks, his brain felt different too. He felt... dumber. His voice had also changed, sounding deeper and goofier.

Jake was confused and stunned. He decided to take the day off from work. After all, no one would take him seriously looking like this.

Oddly, he felt an urge to perform. To juggle, to tell jokes, to do all the things that a clown does. But he didn't want to be seen by others.

So, he grabbed his camera and started recording himself. He juggled, told jokes, and even slipped on a banana peel for the camera.

He found a shrink-y hammer and hit himself with it. Instantly, he shrank to a dwarfed size. The sight was so ridiculous, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
