One day at a show, he is taunted by a group of kids, inciting his mother into a rage that gets her locked up.

Suppose you was torn away from your mother when you was just a baby...

nobody to tuck you in at nights...

How would you like to be left out alone...

in a cold, cruel, heartless world?

And why? I ask ya, why?

Just because he's got those big ears, they call him a freak.

The laughingstock of the circus.

Then when his mother tried to protect him...

they threw her into the clink.

And on top of that, they made him a clown!

Socially, he's washed up.

Ah, but what's the use of talkin' to you coldhearted birds?

Go ahead. Have your fun.

Laugh at him. Kick him, now that he's down.
