Dorotheus the clown

Dorotheus was a clown which always accompanied with a great accordion. It had green and very curly hair. He wore with big red shoes that were set with his nose. Their clothing was very different colors and pants were subjects with large straps. I was engaged to sing songs funny to laugh at all the children. Children will appreciate much and sang all the songs together.

“tachan, tachin, ya estoy aquí…

El payaso Doroteo acaba de venir…

Tararin, tararin, no te dejes de reír…

Que el payaso Doroteo te dará con su nariz….

And so Doroteo sang and laughed with all children. One day the clown Doroteo felt that already children disliked their songs, the given account that children had changed and that they preferred playing video games or going to play football. Anyone already remembered the poor
Dorotheus.




Tired and sad, Doroteo thought that it would have to change profession, as a clown who does laugh of children, is not a clown.


One day while thinking what could devote appeared Claudia. Claudia was a blonde girl with big brown eyes. Stealthily approached the Doroteo clown and said:


-Hello! What's your name? My name is Claudia.


-Hi - sadly said Doroteo. I´m Doroteo and I am a clown. Well it was a clown making children laugh... but now nobody laughs already with my songs...


- And why? -asked Claudia. To view sing me a song. As I do I river.


At that time the clown began to sing:

Ring, ring ,rang…

Mi acordeón empieza a sonar…

La, la , la

El espectáculo va a comenzar….

Y en un plish, plash..

El payaso Doroteo comienza a cantar….

Claudia was looking intently at Doroteo.


-Do not you liked right? - said Doroteo.


Claudia didn't answer to not hurt the feelings of Doroteo, but really laugh did you.


-Well, Doroteo - dared finally to answer the girl. The truth is that your songs are nice but they are perhaps a little bit outdated. The children of today like other things and different music. Today I am going to aerobics class. Do you want to join me? There you can meet other children my age and you'll see our tastes and hobbies. This way as you think new shows to offer us that make us laugh.



Doroteo accompanied Claudia Sports Centre. There was found that children enjoyed much playing football and doing sports. They not only played consoles. I had to think of something that you motivate children and continue singing their songs.

While thought he was approached by a group of children who danced. They moved very happily and it appeared that she was what they were going very well.


-Hello, my name is Doroteo clown. As he is called what you are dancing?-dared to ask them

-We danced Hip hop-answered one of the children.

-Ah! - said the clown. Do I you could teach how to dance like you?. It seems fun

-Well, of course! -He answered one of them.

He had returned to do what he liked. Making children laugh.

And thus Doroteo changed
Doroteo practiced day and night with the kids hip hop dance and while most practicing the dance he liked.



-It's fun! -thought for himself the clown.

And while he danced thinking on new lyrics for their songs. And suddenly... he noticed something.

-Out now! I know that what lack them to my songs! What makes boring my songs is the lack of pace!-Doroteo exclaimed startled.

Thereafter Doroteo returned to being surrounded by children than who were laughing exalted seeing him dancing and singing.

He had returned to do what he liked. Making children laugh.

And thus Doroteo changed the accordion by song lyrics to rhythm of hip hop.

Y colorín colorado este cuento se ha acabado…..
