One day, though, he came up against a real 45 . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some 46 to be sad: “I don’t have many sweets…my parents didn’t buy me that toy…” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be 47 , and he kept spending more time with Waterworks, 48 trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone 49 a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed 50 on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips. He was speechless, and 51 Waterworks was just about to cry, he 52 Charlie’s happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, that’s a nice clown mask (小丑面具) you just 53 !”
On saying those words, Waterworks felt so 54 that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the fun 55 of everything.
