본문 At the age of
twenty-two, Ron decided that he wanted to become a comedian. When he told
his father, the old man hit the ceiling. Ron’s father shouted that Ron
was throwing his college education down the drain and that he would end
up as a bum. But Ron was serious about his career.
He took steps
to become a good comic. He studied acting, talked to comedians, and kept
a book of jokes. He soon got his foot in the door and was performing in
comedy clubs. And soon his act was bringing down the house. The audience
would laugh and clap at all of Ron’s jokes.
Ron ended up in the big
time, as a major celebrity. This fact hit home when he returned to our
town earlier this year. The town rolled out the red carpet for him. There
was a big parade, and everything in town was on the house for Ron. Now,
even Ron’s father laughs at his jokes.
