LAUGHING JACK AND THE KIDS.

All around the All around the mulberry bush, the ash fly's away now. All around the mulberry bush Jack looks so sad now.

We begin our story of, sadness and despair in late August. the sun high in the sky and sending warm rays of light on a small birthday party. A small breeze rolled by as the children were laughing and playing and enjoying them selves at the party. Suddenly the doorbell rang and the mother said to the children. "that must be the clown." she said with a big smile on her face. "You all go sit over there whilst i show him where you all are." The children all cheered happily and they ran to the grass and sat down, exited to see the clown. At that moment the wind stopped and all warmth went away, it was like time completely stopped as a shadow stretched across the garden towards the now shivering children. The kids all looked at the figure as he slowly, slumped towards them. The figure looked distraught but no distinguishable features were seen as the sun was in the children's eyes. The man's hair was long, tangled and messy, his arms where oddly long and his pointed fingers almost dragged along the floor. The children all gasped as the man came in to view completely. His hair was as black as the darkest night and his nose liked like a cone, striped with black and white. His grin stretched from cheek to cheek as his black lips parted to reveal Sharp, pointed teeth that made the children gasp. The man raised his  long arms with black and white striped sleeves and held his hands up and said in a cheery tone. "he he he, Its okay kids, my sharp teeth are to keep the bad people away and you aren't bad." He said cautiously "Are you?" All the children looked at each other and smiled and all said simultaneously. "No, we are all good." they said with a smile. This made the roar with laughter. "Well." he said "Good children get treats don't they?" He said whilst looking around and his smile dropped. "What's wrong Mr. Clown?" the clown turned to the child and said. "Well you are all good kids, but..... this is no party." the clown looked sad for a moment. Suddenly he sprang up and said in the most happiest tone he had. "I know! he he he.... you could come to my circus. We can all laugh and play and have so much fun. he he he..." the clown kept giggling mysteriously. "Follow me Laughing Jack to my circus of fuuuunnnn he he hee." the children all cheered once more as the clown named Jack pulled out an accordion and started to play pop goes the weasel in a distraught tune at first and then with such talent, played it gloriously and started to walk down the road, the children laughing and giggling behind him as the hypnotic tunes played.

The band of happy laughing children's laughter died down as they started to head down a dark dirt road. The sun did not shine here.On ether side of the road were dead, burnt, distraught trees that lead the way. As the children followed Jack His tunes started to become darker and less playful. Crows squawked at them as they continues down the road. Finally, for what seamed a lifetime of walking they all eventually reached a dark looming gate. Jack stopped so suddenly witch caused the children to bump in to each other. he gave a mighty push on the gate and it gowned open Jack motioned for the children to enter as they were very hesitant. Jack slowly turned and continued to play the distraught accordion whilst leading the children away and towards a gigantic black circus tent. as they all reached it the heavy gate shut behind them and Jack turned back slowly with a smile on his face. The smile was a happy smile..... The smile was a scary smile... His eyes narrowed to the children and his once happy tone had gon... instead his voice was dark and deep. "G-g-g GET in THERE!" He Bellowed, scaring all the children as they obeyed the clown, the once happy clown.

Inside the tent was lit up with no visible light source. The children all huddled together, terrified and close to crying all stood looking at jack with wide eyes. Jack opened his mouth slightly and gave a low giggle and said. "Lets, ALL, Play, Hide and SEEK!" As he let those words slip off of his vile tongue the light, went, out. The children, once happy and laughing, now screaming, crying and pleading for help. as the last mumble of life drifted away, le light came back on with no trace of anything that had taken place. The only evidence of Jack was the low, horrific, giggle.

Pop, goes, the weasel....

All around the mulberry bush, the childminders ashes lye there, all around the mulberry bush, Jack is so sad again.......
