She was a trapeze artist. Both were not very popular. Page 2 Clown: What's the matter? Clown: Oh no worries! It's a matter of time till we'll be popular, just a matter of time, I promise. Girl: You're right. We'll be fine if we try our hardest, right? Narration: She becomes fine/happy when she is encouraged by the clown It didn't matter to the clown if they weren't popular, as long as she was happy.
