Kevin was a member of a well - known family—well - respected and industrious. However, a crisis left his family penniless.
Kevin decided to leave his home city and make a living by himself because his family was too poor. Before leaving, he told his father, “I want to learn the circus performance.”
His father was confused and wondered why he had such a strange idea.
What his father didn’t know was that Kevin loved the circus since childhood. Every time there was news of a circus performance, he hurried home on his bicycle. He ran through the front door. “Mum, Dad,” he shouted, “the circus has come to town.”
He was very excited when his father took him and his sister to the circus the next day. At the circus, the audience always burst out laughing when the clowns appeared. The attraction of the circus was endless.
He clearly remembered once they went and sat down, a lady in a shiny costume walked a tightrope (钢丝). When a boy of Kevin’s age rode a unicycle(独轮脚踏车), he asked for a volunteer. Kevin raised his hand and he was picked. The boy taught Kevin to ride a unicycle. The audience clapped. He had a great time at the circus!
His father was unhappy with his answer. “What? No, you can’t do that. A circus is the place for clowns. Our family will be ashamed of you.”
But Kevin insisted. “Our family is so poor now. Which is more important to you, dignity(尊严) or food? I will give you some money every month from the circus. It probably will be a huge fortune.” His father was very stubborn. “If you go there, somebody will know about it very soon and I’ll be very embarrassed, and it must be really tough to be skilled at performing such tricks.”
However, Kevin still left home and found a circus to stay regardless. He worked very hard studying magic and lived with animals. Every month, his parents would get a check from him.

One possible version：
But they never knew Kevin’s address. They knew the money was from Kevin but when people asked them about Kevin’s job, they never told them the truth. Later, his parents received more money from him. Then, a magician named Albert became very famous across the country. Many people were fascinated by his performance and thought he was a legend of the field. One day, Kevin’s father went to visit a relative in another city. The relative paid a lot for tickets of the magician’s show and invited him to watch.
Kevin’s father went to the show. During the show, he was totally impressed by the magician’s tricks. When the magician took off his mask, the father found Albert was his son Kevin. Everything clicked. Kevin changed his name for fear that his career might bring shame on his family. Staring at the young adult on stage and picturing how hard a life he must have experienced, Kevin’s father felt a wave of mixed feelings coming over him. He couldn’t wait to hug his son and told him how proud he was to have Kevin as their family member.
