Alex Santas, 13 has always had a burning ambition to become a circus clown. A few years ago, his dream started to come true when,accompanied by his parents,he left home to begin training with the circus.When Alex was only three,says his mother Anna, we took him to the circus and he absolutely could not take his eyes off the clowns. Alex still remembers that visit: I just loved the way the audience was looking and smiling at the clowns. If a juggler drops his clubs,or a trapeze artist falls,it messes up the act. But if a clown falls over,everyone thinks it's a great joke and roars with laughter.
